Answer:

40%

Explanation:

There are 5 options to roll: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

This means you have a 1 out of 5 chance of rolling each number.

This question is asking for 1 AND 2, not just one number. So, we have a 2 out of 5 chance of rolling that, because 2 options are acceptable instead of just one number.

I'm not sure which form you are looking for, but 2 out of 5 is the same as saying 2/5. Most probability solutions are wanted as a percentage. To find that just solve 2/5, which is 0.4. Move the decimal to the right twice, and that is a 40% chance.
