Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of rolling a six,

let's use our ratio for the probability of an event.

number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Since only one side of a die has a six on on it, the number of favorable

outcomes for rolling a six is 1 and since there are six sides to a die and it's

equally likely that the die will landy on any of these sides, the total number

of outcomes is 6.

So the probability of rolling a six is 1/6.
