Once a die has the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6, it means the numbers that are less than 3 are just the numbers 1 and 2. Now the probability can be built as follows:

As we can see above, once there are just two possibilities of numbers that are less than 3, the probability that the number rolled is less than 3 is equal to 2/6.
