Solution

The total face of a cube is 6

Possible odd 1,3,5


Probability\text{ =}\frac{Possible\text{ outcome}}{Total\text{ outcome}}

The cube is numbered one through six, and the odd numbers are therefore 1,3,5. So the probability of rolling an odd number in any given single roll is


(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)

Multiplying this probability by the number of times she rolls the cube gives


(1)/(2)*90=45

The final answer


45
