Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

-First you have to find the odd numbers in a fair cube

-Total numbers in cube would be: 1,2,3,4,5,6 = 6

-The odd numbers in the cube would be: 1,3,5 = 3

Step 2: Apply the formula of probability

-Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

-Probability = 3/6 and 3/6 simplified is 1/2 so 1/2 is the answer
