Answer:

Explanation:

1 1,1. 1,2. 1,3. 1,4 1,5. 1,6

2. 1,2. 2,2. 2,3. 2,4. 2,5. 2,6

3 1,3. 3,2. 3,3 3,4. 3,5. 3,6

4 1,4. 2,4. 3,4. 4,4. 4,5. 4,6

5. 1,5. 2,5. 3,5. 4,5. 5,5. 6,5

6 1,6. 2,6. 3,6. 4,6. 5,6. 6,6

There are 36 possible outcomes, and 14 of those meet your constraint/what the question is asking.

Hope this helps!
