Answer:

Approximately 53

Explanation:

This is a geometric progression, because each term is found by multiplying the previous one by a constant factor.

In our case, the first term is know (a1 = 3), and the growth factor is also known (q = 1.333333).

What we are tasked to do is to find the 11th (n=11) term of the series, since it asks for AFTER the 10th roll.. That's easy with the base formula:


a_(n) = a_(1) q^(n-1)

Let's place the values we have in the equation and solve it:


a_(10) = 3 * (1.333333)^(11-1) = 3 * (17.758) = 53.3

So, after the 10th roll, you should need 53 dice, approximately.
