Answer:

1/18

denominator is 18

Explanation:

the table helps, according to the table 6x6=36

therefore, total outcomes is 36

and only 2 chances it will roll a sum of 3

so its


(2)/(36)

you simplify,
(1)/(18)

Answer:

2/36 or 1/18

Explanation:

Essentially, you would just find the total number of possible sums. And then find how many equals to three. In this case, it's just two (1 + 2, and 2 + 1). Therefore, the answer would be 2 out of 36 or 2/36. That could also be written as 2:36 or 1/18.

Hope this helps :)
