The number less than 6 are 5 and 6. The even numbers are 6 and 8.

The probability of landing on a number less than 6 on the first spin is 2/4 = 1/2.
The probability of landing on an even number on the second spin is 2/4 = 1/2.

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the two probabilities:

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

Therefore, the probability of landing on a number less than 6 and then landing on an even number is 25%.
