#Probability that you selected the 6 sided die

I am unsure how to solve the following problem:

We have a 4 sided die, a 6 sided die and a 12 sided die. We roll a die twice and get 1 and 5. What's the probability that we rolled the 6 sided die?

Assumptions:

  • picking a die is equiprobable

I think the problem to solve is P(pick 6 | got no. 1 and 5)

#

working that out i came to:

P(pick 6-sided AND got no. 1 and 5) / P(got no. 1 and 5)

#

but that's as far as i got, not sure how to get the probabilities to fill in the formula :/
