Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The probability that a 5 is rolled is $\frac{1}{6}$

b) The probability that a number greater than 2 is rolled is $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step 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  $\frac{1}{6}$

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. $\frac{4}{6}$ when simplified is $\frac{2}{3}$
