Answer:

4/6 or 66.666...%

Explanation:

If you want to find the probability of obtaining neither a 5 nor a 2 you find how many times they occur and add them together in this case 5 occurs once and 2 also occurs once out of 6 numbers so 1/6 + 1/6 equals 2/6, you now know that 4/6 of them won't be a 5 nor a 2 and because it is a fair die the likelihood of it falling on a number is the same for all sides so the answer is 4/6 or 66.67%.
