To find the probability of obtaining a 6 on the dice given that a head comes up on the coin, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
Since we are only interested in the outcome of the dice when a head comes up on the coin, we can ignore the outcomes where a tail comes up on the coin. So, we are left with 6 possible outcomes on the dice when a head comes up on the coin: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Since there are 6 possible outcomes on the dice when a head comes up on the coin, and the dice has 6 sides, the total number of possible outcomes is 6.
Therefore, the probability of obtaining a 6 given that a head comes up on the coin is:
Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
= 1 / 6
= 1/6
So, the probability of obtaining a 6, given that a head comes up, is 1/6.
