[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of rolling a five on the first die is 1/6, as there is only one five out of the six possible outcomes.

The probability of rolling an even number on the second die is 3/6, as there are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of the six possible outcomes.

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

(1/6) x (3/6) = 3/36 = 1/12

Therefore, the probability of rolling a five on the first die and an even number on the second die is 1/12.
