Answer: 1/12

How to get this answer:
The probability of rolling an odd number is 1/2 because there are half as many odd numbers compared to even numbers on a six-sided die. You can think of it as 3 odd numbers out of 6 total, so 3/6 = 1/2 is the probability of getting an odd number.

The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6 as there is only one face labeled "3" out of 6 total.

Multiplying the two probabilities gives (1/2)*(1/6) = (1*1)/(2*6) = 1/12
The two events are independent from one another.
