Answer with the explanation:

Die or dice typically have 6 sides/numbers, and since it wasn't specified in the question I'm going to assume it has 6 sides.... But the probability is 1/6 because there is a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 5 on the first roll, and a 1 in 2 chance of rolling an even number on the second roll. The probabilities of independent events are multiplied together to find the overall probability.
