A level Maths Question- Statistics

Hello, this is the question I'm struggling with.
Two fair dice are rolled and the result on each die is recorded. Show that the event ‘the sum of the scores on the dice is 4′ and " both land on the same number.
So far, this is what I've done.
P(Sum of 4) = 3 /36 = 1 /12
P(Same number) = 6 /36 = 1 /6
I don't know what to do next, I just need some guidance. Thank you.

Thank you, but I don't even understand what you have done. Additionally, the answer isn't 4b.... but thanks anyway.
