2/6 reduced to simplest terms.... being 1/3 so your answer would be 1/3 hope i helped(1 and 2 are the only numbers less then 3 and since there are 6 sides the possibility is 2/6 but it probably wants it reduced, so the answer is 1/3... whenever you can reduce to simplest terms ALWAYS reduce...)

ok so probablit is
(desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)
ok so total possible is 6 since 6 numbers
less than 3 means all numbers less than 3 not including 3
there are 2 (1 and 2 are less than 3)
2=desired outcomes
6=total possible
2/6=1/3

probability is 1/3
