Each time the cube is tossed, there are six possibilities it might land on: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Of these six possibilities, two of them (5 and 6) are greater than 4. Therefore, the cube will land on a number greater than 4 two out of six times, or 2%2F6+=+1%2F3 of the time.

Thus, if the cube is tossed 300 times, it will land on a number greater than 4 about %281%2F3%29+%2A+300+=+100 times.
