The probability could be shown as 5/6.

You can just subtract 100 by 16 to get your answer of 84. But since you got six for doing the fraction 1/6 (because for every one side there is 6 sides total) then you can just use the fraction 5/6 as your probability for NOT rolling a 5 because those are the 5 OF the 6 total sides that can be rolled besides rolling a 5.
