Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

There are only two ways to roll a die and get a number bigger than 2 (not1 or not 2) and smaller than 5 (not 5 and not 6) You can roll a 3 (bigger than 2, smaller than 5) OR you can roll a 4 (also bigger than 2 a, smaller than 5)

There are only 6 different results when you roll a die (1-6).

To write a probability you put the total number of ways on the bottom. Put 2 on top because there's two ways to roll the desired result.

P = 2/6 and simplify

P = 1/3
