The probability of anything is the number of ways something can happen the way you want them to happen divided by the total number of ways it can happen.
Here we want a green color, meaning we roll a 1, a 2, or a 5, or an even number which means we roll a 2, a 4, or a 6. That means the ONLY non-successful roll is a 3, which is odd and red. Since there are six possibilities and only one is unsuccessful, there must be five successful outcomes out of six possibilities.
