Answer: 1/6

Explanation:

So since the dice has 6 sides and you only want the probability of a 5 it’s only one of the six sides it is only 1/6

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a six sided dice and landing on 5 is 1/6. This is because 5 is one of the outcomes out of 6. The 6 outcomes are: landing on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Because landing on 5 is one out of the 6 outcomes, the probability is 1/6.

This said, 1/6 is also 16.67% if you want it as a percentage.
