In 6 ways.

Huh?
How many sides of a single die has 5 pips?
Only one, no matter what color it is! Unless, for some strange reason, you count the 5 pips on the 6 pip side
So the answer is one!
I suspect tutor ikleyn misread the question as 5 on two dice which would indeed yield 6 ways.
5 and 1
1 and 5
4 and 2
2 and 4
3 and 2
2 and 3
