Answer:

3/7

Explanation:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of possible outcomes

We know the total number of possible outcomes is 14 since there are 14 sides to the dice.

Let's find how many of those numbers are prime numbers.

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 are all the prime numbers between 1 and 14, so there are 6 favorable outcomes.

Now create the fraction then reduce.

6/14 reduce by 2/2

3/7
