Question

Annie and her friends are playing a game called doubles. In the game, a player rolls two dice at the same time. The outcome of each roll is the sum of the two dice. Extra points are scored for rolling doubles --- the same number on both sides.
Use the multiplication principle to find the total number of possible outcomes for each roll in the game.

Answer 1

There are 6 possible outcomes for die A and 6 possible outcomes for die B.
Each of the 6 outcomes of die A can be combined with each of the 6 outcomes of die B. Therefore the total number of possible outcomes for each roll is given by:
$6\times6=36$
