6/16 = 3/8
If they are fair coins, it is 1/16.
With 5 coin tosses there are 32 possible outcomes. 10 of these have exactly 2 heads, and 26 of these have 2 or more heads.For exactly two coins are heads: 10/32 = 31.25%For two or more heads: 26/32 = 81.25%
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
3/8ths
6/16 = 3/8
The sample space is 23 or 8; which can be listed out as: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. There are 2 of the 8 that have exactly 2 heads; so the probability of exactly two coins landing on heads is 2/8 or 1/4.
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
If they are fair coins, it is 1/16.

1 chance in 4
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
Two coins tossed sample space is (H=Heads, T = Tails) as follows. HH, HT, TH, TT is the sample space.
1/4
It is the event that one of the two coins lands showing tails and the other shows heads.
