Possible number combinations are 1,1 2,1 3,1 4,1 5,1 6,1 1,2 2,2 3,2 4,2 5,2 6,2 1,3 2,3 3,3 4,3 5,3 6,3 1,4 2,4 3,4 4,4 5,4 6,4 1,5 2,5 3,5 4,5 5,5 6,5 1,6 2,6 3,6 4,6 5,6 and 6,6. of those 36 number combinations the ones that add up to more than 10 include: 4,6 5,5 5,6 6,4 6,5 6,6. thats 6 number combinations. 6/36 of the possible sums of the top faces equal out to 10 or more. 6/36=1/6=0.166666666666666666666666(repeating) and to put that in a percentage, 16.7% the probability is 16.7% Hope this helps.
Know this? Add apples to apples and oranges to oranges. This problem becomes much easier if the fractions are converted to decimal fractions for comparison purposes:
<span>2⁄3 , 7⁄6 , 1⁄8 , 9⁄10 are approx equal to 0.67, 1.17, 0.125, 0.90
So, rearranging these numbers in increasing order, we get
0.125, 0.67, 0.90, 1.17.
We could go back to the originals: 1/8, 2/3, 9/10, 7/6.</span>
