Answer: 16.7%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of rolling a 4 on a dice, remember that there are 6 possibilities of rolling a number.

One way to think about it is that it's certain that one of those six sides will land facing upwards which is a probability of 1 or 100%.

Since only one side can face upwards for a given role, we have to divide up that value among all the possibilities. Let's divide 1 by the number of sides on the dice.

1 ÷ 6 = 0.167 or 16.7%

This means that it would not be likely to role a 4, but it would be just as likely as rolling any other number.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 16.7%.
