Question

Jimmy has a number cube labeled 1through 6, and a penny. How many different ways can the cube and penny land with one roll of the cube and one flip of the penny . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6

Answer 1

The answer would be 12.

Ex.
1H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H
1T 2T 3T 4T 5T 6T

Answer 2

12 ways

Explanation:

We know that,

When the cube is rolled,

Possible ways = 6 ( i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 ),

While, when a penny is flipped,

Possible ways = 2 ( i.e. head or tail ),

Thus, when the cube and penny flipped one time,

Total possible ways = 6 × 2 = 12

( i.e, 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T or 6T )
