Answer: 1/4
Step-by-step explanation: Tossing two coins are independent events because the outcome of tossing one coin does not affect the outcome of tossing the other coin. We can find the probability of independent events by multiplying the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event. If we want to find the probability of tossing a heads and a heads, we multiply the probability of tossing a heads by the probability of tossing a heads.

Now, let's find the probability of tossing a heads on the first coin. Remember that a coin has two sides which are heads and tails. Since heads is one of the two sides, we can represent this as 1 out of 2 or 1/2. This would be the same for the second side as well which is 1/2.
Now, we can simply multiply 1/2 by 1/2 and we will get the fraction 1/4. Therefore, the probability of tossing heads and heads is 1/4.
