All the possibilities of two numbers cubes are

11 12 13 14 15 16

21 22 23 24 25 26

31 32 33 34 35 36

41 42 43 44 45 46

51 52 53 54 55 56

61 62 63 64 65 66

The probability that sum of the rolled cubes is less than 10 is

P = 6/36

The probability that the sum of the rolled cubes is a multiple of 3 is

P = 12/36

The conditional probability of B given that a occurs first is

P = 6/36 (12/36) = 1/18
