Select one:


1/2


2/3


1/3


1/6

Answer 1

Answer: the first option (1/2)

Explanation:

there are 3 numbers on the die that are greater than 3: 4, 5, and 6

so that’s 3/6 numbers or 1/2

(also as a percent it’s 50%)

Answer 2

1/2

because by determining how many numbers are larger than 3. That includes 4, 5. & 6. So one’s chance of getting a number greater than 3 is 3 chances out of 6 numbers that could be rolled or 1/2.
