Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 posible outcomes with a number less than 4: 1, 2 & 3. This is the numerator

The total posible outcomes is 12. This is the denominator

Now we have to write and simplify the fraction:


(3)/(12)=(1)/(4)=0.25

Answer:

The probability of rolling a number less than 4 is 1/4
