You roll a fair six-sided die. What are the chances the die shows an odd number or a number greater than one?​

Answer:

4/3

Explanation:

Out of the six sides 3 are odd and there's 5 numbers greater than 1. Basically these turn to the fractions 3/6 and 5/6 (these fractions stand for the probability they get rolled on this die).

Since the question says OR and not AND you add these fractions!

3/6 + 5/6 = 4/3
