Answer:

2/6 or 1/3

Explanation:

if billy needs to roll 5 or higher his only to options would be 5 and 6 because the die is 6 sided. 5 and 6 are two numbers out of six which would be 2/6 times. you can also simplify that and it'll be 1/3 times. so for every 6 times that he rolls the die, he'll get one of those numbers twice. for every 3 times he rolls it, he'll get one of the numbers once.
