Answer:

9/24 or 3/8

Explanation:

3/6 (3 out of the 6 sides are odd)

3/4 (3 out of 4 die)

Multiply together

3/6 * 3/4= 9/24

so 9/24 is the answer... you can simplify it to 3/8.

ur welcome :)

Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

There is a 1/2 probability one die will be odd because 1, 3, and 5 are the only possible odd numbers.

Since you want 3/4 of the dice to be odd, you multiply 1/2 by 3/4 to get 3/8.

I believe it is 3/8.
