Answer:

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to make 11. Pretend that one die is red and the other green.

red green

5 6

6 5

And there is just one way to make 12

red green

6 6

So you have 3 ways to succeed.

The total number of ways to throw to dice = 6 * 6

P(11 or 12) = 3/36 = 1/12

So one in 12 times you should get a result of 11 or 12.
