Answer:

There is a 1 out of 6 probability the die shows a one.

Explanation:

Although there are only 3 odd numbers in a die (1,3,5) , the die still only has 6 numbers. (1,2,3,4,5,6)

These means that the probability of getting 1, is 1 out of the 6 numbers.

Because of this it's a 1 out of 6 probability that this would happen. (or you can write 1/6 same answer)

Hope this helps, good luck!! :)
