To determine the odds in favor of rolling a specific number on a fair 6-sided dice (also known as a number cube), you need to find the ratio of the desired outcomes to the total possible outcomes.

In this case, since you want to find the odds in favor of rolling a 5, the desired outcome is rolling a 5, and there is only one outcome that satisfies this condition.

The total possible outcomes when rolling a fair 6-sided dice are 6 since there are 6 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) on the dice.

So, the odds in favor of rolling a 5 would be 1 desired outcome to 6 total possible outcomes.

Therefore, the odds in favor of rolling a 5 on a fair 6-sided dice are 1:6.
