Answer: 2/3

Explanation:

First, find the probability of rolling an odd number. The odd numbers on a 6-sided die are 1, 3, and 5. This is a probability of 3/6.

Now, find the probability of rolling a 2. There's only one 2 on a die, so the probability is 1/6.

Next, add these together. 3/6 + 1/6 = 4/6. This can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. This results in a final probability of 2/3.
