Question

Ethan rolls a 6 sided number cube. what is the probability that he gets a number less than 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

B). 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it's asking to find the probability of Ethan getting a side of the cube that is less than 4.

In this case, we know that Ethan is rolling a 6 sided number cube, meaning that the numbers on the cube will range from 1-6.

On the cube, we need to get the numbers that are less than 4.

1

2        ← These numbers are less than 4.

3  

___

4

5

6

Knowing how many numbers are less than 4, we can solve the question.

We know that there are 3 numbers less than 4. So that will be our numerator.

There are 6 numbers in total, so that will be our denominator.

We can represent probability as a fraction.

Your fraction should look like this:

$\frac{3}{6}$

We are not done yet, we would need to simplify the fraction.

To simplify, we would just divide the numerator and denominator by 3.

$\frac{3}{6} \div \frac{3}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$

Once you're done solving, you should get $\frac{1}{2}$

This means that answer choice B). 1/2 would be the correct answer.

I hope this helps you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!

Answer 2

Answer:

B) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ethan rolls a 6 sided number cube, the probability that he gets a number less than 4 is 1/2.

Less than 4: 3,2, or 1.

3 is half of 6.

Therefore it is 1/2 or 50%
