Answer:

Multiple of 2

Explanation:

There are six possible outcomes when rolling a standard number cube labeled 1 through 6. Out of these six possible outcomes, there are three outcomes that are multiples of 2 (2, 4, and 6) and two outcomes that are multiples of 3 (3 and 6).

Therefore, it is more likely that the cube will show a multiple of 2 than a multiple of 3. The probability of rolling a multiple of 2 is 3/6 or 1/2, while the probability of rolling a multiple of 3 is 2/6 or 1/3.
