Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

A six-sided number cube labeled from 1 to 6 is rolled.

Total outcomes = 1,2,3,4,5,6= 6 outcomes

multiple of 2 are 2,4,6 so 3 outcomes

multiple of 3 are 3,6 so 2 outcomes

multiply of 2 or 3 are 2,4,3,6 so 4 outcomes

the probability of getting a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3

= possible outcomes / total outcomes

= 4/6

now reduce the fraction, divide by 2 on both sides

the probability of getting a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3 = 2/3
