1 chance in 6 sides
Since the side of the cubes is 6 and Eli is only rolling the cube once, the odds will be 1/6. The number he rolls does not matter, the odds of him landing any specific number will be 1/6.
If the question asked for the probability of rolling a 4 or a 6, the answer would be 2/6, or 1/3.
If the question asked "What is the probability of Eli rolling a 4 twice in a row?", then you would take the odds of rolling a 4 the first time (1/6) and multiply it by the odds of rolling a 4 the second time (1/6 again) which would leave you with a probability of 1/36.
