if he gets 1 on first die, then he can get 1,3,5 on second die = 3 ways

if he gets 3 on first die, then he can get 1,3,5 on second die = 3 ways

if he gets 5 on first die, then he can get 1,3 on second die = 2 ways if he gets 2 on first die, then he can get 2,4,6 on second die = 3 ways

if he gets 4 on first die, then he can get 2,4 on second die=2 ways

if he gets 6 on first die, then he can get 2 on second die = 1 ways

even sum=14

total number ways he can roll the die = 36

=14/36

=7/18
