Answer:

D

Explanation:

So, one friend rolled a 1 and the other rolled a 3. Taylor needs to roll a number higher than both friends in order to win.

So, the possible numbers Taylor can roll to win are 4, 5, or 6.

Out of the six possible choices, 4, 5, and 6 is takes up 3. Thus, the chances of Taylor winning is:


3/6=50\%

The answer is D.
