GUYS I REALLY NEED HELP ASAP

Let-Them-Roll is a new board game that uses four game pieces.
Piece A: 6 sides, numbered 1-6.
Piece B: 8 sides, numbered 1-8.
Piece C: 12 sides, numbered 1-12.

Answer:

Explanation:

Piece B - probability of an even number is 4 out of 8 - 4 even numbers

on the piece of 8. 4/8 = 1/2 which is .5 or 50%

Piece D - has 20 sides probability of a 4,5,6, or 7 out of 20 is

4/20 or 1/5 which is .20 or 20%

Piece A - which is six sided - probability of a 1 or a 2 out of 6 possibilities

is 2/6 or .33 or 33%

Piece C - probability of a number less than 6 is 5 out of 12 or 5/12

which is .42 or 42%

Divide the numerator in the fraction by the denominator to get the decimal and then convert to percent by moving decimal two places to the left.

Now we can arrange in order from least to most likely:

piece d < piece a < piece c < piece b
