The probability of getting either a 1 or 2 on the first toss is 2/6 or 1/3. The probability of getting either a 1 or 2 on the second toss, given that you got a 1 or 2 on the first toss, is also 2/6 or 1/3. To find the probability of both events happening together (getting a 1 or 2 on both tosses), you multiply the probabilities: 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9. Therefore, the answer is B: 1/9.
