Answer
$0.54 \text{ or } 54\%$
Work Step by Step
The formula for the events would be $P(Q and R)=$ $P(Q)$ $\times$ $P(R)$ since the events are independent:
$P(Q \space and \space R)=$ $P(Q)$ $\times$ $P(R)$
$P(Q \space and \space R)=$ $0.6$ $\times$ $0.9$
$P(Q \space and \space R)=0.54$
$P(Q \space and \space R)=54$%
