Answer:

6/36 or 1/6

Explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4, then rolling an odd number, you must multiply the probability of rolling numbers greater than 4 by the probability of rolling an odd number. In numbers 1-6, there are two number greater than 4: 5 and 6. The probability of an event is the specific factor over the total amount of results or objects. The probability of rolling a number higher than 4 is 2/6, or 1/3. In numbers 1-6, there are 3 odd numbers: 1, 3, and 5. The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, or 1/2. 3/6 times 2/6 is 6/36, and when simplified, it becomes 1/6.
