In rolling two dice, what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be 4? A: 1 over 12
B: 3
C: 11 over 12
D: 2 over 3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dice are fair and 6 sided then you can roll a 4 in three ways

2    2

1     3

3    1

The total number of ways you can throw two 6 sided dice is 6 * 6 or 36

So P(4) = 3/36 = 1/12

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
