The probability is $\frac{2}{6}$ $2/6$ , or $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ if you need to simplify.

Explanation:

Since a cube has $6$ $6$ sides, and she wants to roll either a $1$ $1$ or $2$ $2$ , she has two favorable outcomes. Her chances are is $2$ $2$ out of $6$ $6$ outcomes (to roll either a $1$ $1$ or $2$ $2$ ).

$\frac{2}{6}$ $2/6$ outcomes is equal to a $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ chance of a favorable outcome.
