find: odds sum is less than equal to 5,for two rolls of a single die

I don't know why my answer 6/36 is wrong, can someone tell me?

Thank you
 
for sum of ODD numbers showing on top of dice is 5 and the number of successes for sum % is 4, and number of success for 3 ( the other odd number) is 2.
so 4+2 = 6

Odds are calculated differently than probability (chance)

Odd = success/failure

This question has nothing to do with the sum of ODD numbers. Rather it asks what are the odds that the sum of two rolls of a die is at most five.
Here are the favorable outcomes: \(\displaystyle (1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2),(1,3),(3,1),(2,2),(1,2),(2,1),(1,1)\)

What are the odds?
