If you roll a standard six-sided die, what is the probability that you get a 1,2,3,5, or 6? Give your answer as a simplified fraction.1/6 is not the answer

A dice has 6 faces, with a number in each one of them (six numbers, from 1 to 6). So if you were to roll it, the probability that you get a 1,2,3,5, or 6 is:


(5)/(6)

Because you're excluding number 4 from the possibilities.
