Question

to get out of jail free in the board game Monopoly you have to roll doubles with a pair of standard dice. determine the odds in favour of getting out of jail on your first or second roll

Answer 1

Well one dice has 6 sides. So your chances are 1 in 6. If you have two dice (die? I'm not sure about the plural), then that's 6 x 6 which is 36. So, your chances are 1 in 36.
Hope that helps!
