1. **State the problem:**
Olive flips a coin and rolls a number cube with numbers 1 to 6. We want to find the probability that she flips heads and rolls an even number.
2. **Understand the sample space:**
The coin has 2 outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T).
The number cube has 6 outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Total possible outcomes = $2 \times 6 = 12$.
3. **Identify favorable outcomes:**
We want outcomes where the coin shows Heads and the number is even.
Even numbers on the cube are 2, 4, and 6.
Favorable outcomes: H2, H4, H6.
Number of favorable outcomes = 3.
4. **Calculate the probability:**
Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{3}{12}$.
5. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{3}{12} = \frac{\cancel{3}}{\cancel{12}} = \frac{1}{4}$$
6. **Final answer:**
The probability that Olive flipped heads and rolled an even number is $\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$.
