Answer:

2/6 or 1/3

Explanation:

To find probability, we have to look at the favorable outcome (the outcome we're looking for - in this case, rolling greater than a 4) divided by the total outcomes (the total possible outcomes - in this case, 6).

There are 6 sides on a dice, as laid out in the question. How many numbers on a dice are greater than 4? Well, 5 and 6, of course. These are only two sides of the dice, so our probability would be 2/6, or simplified, 1/3, and that's our answer.

If you'd like a more in-depth explanation, please let me know and I'd be happy to help. :)
