2 fair dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum is even given that the first die rolled is a 5?

The answer would be 50% because if the second die landed on three of the numbers (1, 3 or 5) the sum would be even (6, 8 or 10) but if it landed on the other three numbers (2, 4 and 6) the sum would be odd (7, 9 or 11)
