A six-sided die is rolled. What are the chances the number 5 comes up?

1 out of 10

1 out of 5

5 out of 6

1 out of 6

The answer is 1 out of 6

there are 6 faces but you only want only one number so it is 1/6 or 1 out of 6

1 in 6. There are 6 sides, and they are mutually exclusive events, when one happens another cannot happen.

There is only 1 five on a dice, therefore there is a 1 in 6 chance it will appear assuming the dice is unbiased.
