25/36

Independent events. There are 6 possible outcomes: P(blue less than 6)=$\frac{5}{6}$ -there are 5 outcomes that are less than 6- P(green less than 6)=$\frac{5}{6}$ -there are 5 outcomes less than 6- P(blue and green less than 6)=P(blue less than 6) $\times$ P(green less than 6) P(blue and green less than 6)=$\frac{25}{36}$ $\times$ $\frac{25}{36}$ P(blue and green less than 6)=$\frac{25}{36}$
