Answer:

5:1

Explanation:

On a die, the possible outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5,6 = 6 possible outcomes

The outcomes that are not a 6 are 1,2,3,4,5 = 5 outcomes

The outcomes that a 6 can occur is 1

The odds are the ways the event can occur with the number of ways the event cannot occur.

not rolling a 6: rolling a 6

5:1
