Consider an unfair 6-sided die with the following properties: the probability of rolling a 2 is twice the probability of rolling a 1, the probability of rolling a 6 is three times the probability of rolling a 1, and the probabilities of rolling a 2, a 3, a 4, or a 5 are all the same. What is the probability of rolling a 1? Justify your answer.
