Question

You roll two six-sided dice. What is the probability that the sum is equal to 5? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

4/36 but reduce to lowest terms.

The rolls that add up to 5 are 1 and 4, 4 and 1, 2 and 3, and 3 and 2 for a total of 4 possibilities. then divide 4 by the total number of possibilities which is 6 times 6.

4/36 which you can also reduce to lowest terms.
