Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

According to the word problem:

  • A number cube is numbered 1-6
  • A spinner has 3 consonants and 1 vowel

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is asking the probability of rolling a number less than 3 and a consonant.

Well, there are 2 numbers less than 3 on the number cube, 2 and 1. So of the six numbers, 2 of them are less than 3 (2/6).

There are 3 consonants on the spinner. So, of the 4 letters, 3 of them are constants (3/4).

Now, that we know the likelihood of each event, multiply them.


2/6*3/4=6/24


6/24=1/4(simplified)
