Question

When rolling 2 number cubes what is the probability of rolling a 6

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the probability of rolling a 6 on two number cubes, we need to calculate the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a 6 on either or both of the cubes) divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

Each cube has 6 sides, numbered 1 through 6. So, the total number of possible outcomes when rolling two cubes is 6 x 6 = 36.

The number of favorable outcomes is 2, because there are two ways to roll a 6: either rolling a 6 on the first cube and a 6 on the second cube, or rolling a 6 on one of the cubes.

So, the probability of rolling a 6 is:

favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 2 / 36 = 1/18

Therefore, the probability of rolling a 6 on two number cubes is 1/18 or approximately 5.56%.

Answer 2

2/12 (simplified to 1/6) because there are 12 numbers in total and the probability of you choosing 6 would be 2 out of the 12 numbers because there are 2, sixes.
