Answer:

The answer is 5/12 or 42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this, you have to see what the odds are for this to happen. What's the probability that it will not be a 3? 5/6. What about the probability of rolling 3 or less?. 1/2. Multiply the probabilities 5/6*1/2 and you get 5/12 or a 42% chance. Hope it helps!
