Question

A number cube labeled 1 - 6 is rolled. Write in answer in fraction form.

Answer 1

a) The probability that a 5 is rolled is
`(1)/(6)`

b) The probability that a number greater than 2 is rolled is
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

a)

On this cube, there are sides labeled 1-6. Only one of the six sides is labeled 5. This means that the probability of rolling a 5 is
`(1)/(6)`

b)

Again this cubes has sides labeled 1-6.

The numbers on the cube that are greater than 2 are 3,4,5, and 6. This is 4 of the 6 sides of the cube.
`(4)/(6)` when simplified is
`(2)/(3)`
