Answer

$\frac{25}{36}$

Work Step by Step

The events are independent. The cubes have 5 outcomes that are less than 6: P(blue less than 6)=$\frac{5}{6}$ P(green less than 6)=$\frac{5}{6}$ P(blue less than 6 and green less than 6)=P(blue less than 6) $\times$ P(green less than 6) P(blue less than 6 and green less than 6)=$\frac{5}{6}$ $\times$ $\frac{5}{6}$ P(blue less than 6 and green less than 6)=$\frac{25}{36}$
