Help with probability?

I need help with a few probabiltity questions which i am doing from my s1 book:

3) Two fair dice are thrown and the product of the numbers on the dice is recorded. Given that one die lands on 2, find the probability that the product on the dice is:
a) Exactly 6
b) More than 5

4) A and B are two events such that P(A)=0.6, P(B)=0.5 and P(A B)=0.4, Find:
a) P(A U B)
b) P(B I A)
c) P(A I B)
d) P(A I B')

Please can someone help me with these questions? Many thanks

You need to be more specific with what you don't understand, you'll learn almost nothing if you just copy down 6 answers from someone else.

Try tree diagrams or multiplication laws.
