Question

Leah rolls two 6-sided number cubes. What is the probability that she rolls a sum equal to 10?

A. 1/11
B. 10/36, or 5/16
C. 2/36, or 1/18
D. 3/36, or 1/12​

Answer 1

D. 3/36, or 1/12

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a sum equal to 10 on two six-sided number cubes is 3/36.

This is because of the 36 total outcomes, only 3 have a sum of 10.

In other words, the probability of rolling a sum equal to 10 is 3 in 36, or 3 out of 36 (3/36).
