For the first die, 5 out of 6 are not 1. 
That is 5/6. 
For the second die, 3 out of 4 are not 1. 
That is 3/4.  
Multiply 5/6 by 3/4 to get the probability.
5/6 x 3/4 = 20/72 
Simplify once to get 10/36. 
Do it again to get 5/18. 
In decimal form it is 0.2777 and in percent form it is 27.77%. 
Hope this helps!
