Well, between $1$ and $6$, there are $3$ primes ($2, 3, 5$), so the chances of you getting a prime number with a $6$ sided die is:

You work out the rest!

So you need to work out what outcomes of your die would be prime. Then you can express this as a fraction out of 6 (because there are 6 possible numbers the die could give).

Then you need to turn it into a percentage. You can do this by turning the fraction into a decimal then multiplying by 100.
