There are 36 possible combinations that can occur when 2 dice are rolled. For the sake of this question, we'll count instances where dice 1 = 3/dice 2 = 2 and dice 1 = 2/dice 2 = 3.

Now, let's think about all of the possible ways a total of 5 could be rolled.

1 + 4

2 + 3

3 + 2

4 + 1

That's 4 possibilities to roll a total of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes.

4 / 36 = ? / 180

---Now, we need to use a proportion in order to figure out the possibilities out of 180.

36x = 720

x = 20

If you rolled a pair of fair dice 180 times, you would expect to roll a total of 5, 20 times.

Hope this helps!
