The odds in favor are 3:3 which reduces to 1:1

There are 3 ways to get what we want, which is 4, 5 or 2. There are 3 ways to get what we don't want (1,3,or 6). So we list those two values as a ratio like so 3:3, which reduces to 1:1 after you divide both parts by 3.

Here's another example. If we wanted to know the odds in favor of rolling a 5 or 6, then the answer would be 2:4 which reduces to 1:2. This is because there are 2 ways to get what we want (rolling a 5 or 6) and 4 ways to get what we don't want (rolling either 1,2,3, or 4). The number of events we favor is listed first when it comes to "odds in favor" problems.

Whats the volume of the solid?

The volume of the solid will be equal to V=64 Cubic inches.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

The space occupied by any solid object in the three-dimension is called as the volume.

Here we have 8 cubes in the solid object each cube has the side equal to 2 inches.

So the volume of one cube will be:

V=a³=2³=8 cubic inches

Since total number of the cubes are 8 so total volume will be:

V=8x8=64 cubic inches

hence the total volume will be equal to 64 cubic inches`
