A fair dice has numbers 1-6 in which 1,3,5 are odd numbers and 2,4,6 are even numbers. To get the probability of getting an even number, divide the total even numbers by the total even and odd numbers. Since the total even number is 3 and the total even and odd number is 3+3 = 6, divide 3 by 6 to get the probability of getting an odd number.
> 3/6
Simplify 3/6 using the common factor is 3
> 3*1/ 2*3
> 1/2
The probability of getting an even number when rolling a fair dice is 1 in every 2 throws.
