There are only 2 other numbers that are greater than 4 on the number cube.
Seeing how there are 6 possible rolls, that would make it 2/6, now just simplify that number and you get?

Does it have to be simplified?

afrodiddle · Answer

yes.
What does 2/6 simplify to?

anonymous · Answer

1/3
I didn't apply that to the others and got the latter questions. If only I simplified them. Next times a charm!

*I got the latter questions wrong, but that was right. Thank you!
