Answer:

c 2/3

Explanation:

there are six sides to a die. Therefore when you roll you have a 1 in 6 of getting a specific number 1/6 . Since you only want numbers greater than 2 your odds are now 4/6. Remove 1 and 2 from the equation and there are now only 4 out of 6 correct numbers. 4/6

4/6 can be reduce to 2/3rds. That is your answer
