I take it a "number cube" is a different name for a die. If so, the probability of any result coming up is 1/6. If you are asked for the probability of one event OR another coming up, you add the probabilities. If you are asked for one thing AND another, you multiply the probabilities.
Probability of 2 OR 3 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3
