Probability = (number of ways to succeed) / (total possible outcomes) .

The total possible results of rolling two dice is

   (6 on the first cube) x (6 on the second one) = 36 possibilities.

How many are successful ?  I need you to clarify something first.
You said that the 'second die' shows an odd number.  When a pair
of dice is rolled, the problem usually doesn't distinguish between them. 
And in fact, you said that they're "tossed together" (like a spinach and
arugula salad ?) so I would understand that they would lose their identity
unless they were, say, painted different colors, and we wouldn't know
which one is the second one.

Oh well, I'll just work it both ways:

First way: 
Two identical dice are tossed.
The total is 5 and ONE cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen ?

1 ... 4
4 ... 1
3 ... 2
2 ... 3         

Four possibilities.  Probability = 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1% .

=======================================

Second way:
 
A black and a white cube are tossed together.
The total is 5 and the white cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen:

B ... W
4 .... 1
2 .... 3

Only two possibilities.  Probability = 2/36 = 1/18 = 5.6% .

These are congruent angles. So they would be equal to each other. 6x=4x+50

The _______ are all the counting numbers.
Bingel [31]
It cannot be be Integers because Integers include negative numbers (which are not counting numbers)

It cannot be real numbers because like integers, it includes negative numbers but also includes decimals which are not counting numbers

It cannot be absolute values because absolute values is the range of how far away a number is from 0 which obviously isn't counting

That leaves natural numbers which are counted in sequence which fits the definition needed

Answer: D. Natural Numbers
