Answer:

even = 1/2

prime = 1/2

multiple of 5 = 1/6

Explanation:

probability is the chances of obtaining a certain result out of many attempts.

when rolling a die, the maximum number of results you can get is 6

Then, calculate how many times each of the occurrences appear(even, prime or multiples of 5)

Even = There are only 3 even numbers from 1 to 6

Prime: There are only 3 primes from 1 to 6

Multiples of 5 = There is only one multiple of 5.

Now you present each of this out of 6:

Even: 3/6 = 1/2

Prime: 3/6 = 1/2

Multiple of 5 = 1/6

This can also be presented as a decimal or percentage:

Even: 50% = 0.5

Prime: 50% = 0.5

Multiple of 5 = 16.67% = 0.16

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
