1/4

Explanation:

We address each probablility independantly and then multiply the two.

Probability of getting heads is 1/2, because there's 1 way to get heads out of 2 equally likely outcomes.

The probablility of rolling a 4, 5, or 6 on a die is going to be 3/6 because out of 6 equally likely rolls, 3 are greater than or equal to 4.

We then multiply the two values together.

1/2times3/6=3/12

There are three ways for this to happen (heads and 4, heads and 5, and heads and 6) out of 12 possible outcomes. The probability is 3 in 12, or 1/4.
