The correct response is 14, Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction.

To roll an odd number on the first roll, there are 3 possible outcomes out of 6 (1, 3, 5). The probability of this happening is 3/6 or 1/2.

To roll an even number on the second roll, there are 3 possible outcomes out of 6 (2, 4, 6). The probability of this happening is also 3/6 or 1/2.

The probability of both events occurring together is found by multiplying the two probabilities:

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

This can be written as Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction.
