Answer:

50%

Explanation:

You want the probability of rolling a divisor of 45 on a 6-sided die.

Probability

The probability is the ratio of outcomes of interest to the total number of possible outcomes, assuming they are equally likely.

The numbers on a die that are divisors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, which are 3 of the 6 possible outcomes.

P(divisor of 45) = 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.50 = 50%

The probability of rolling a divisor of 45 is 50%.

Additional comment

This problem statement asks for the answer as a percentage. It can also be written as a fraction (1/2) or a decimal (0.50).

The divisors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45.
