Answer:

18 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space ; roll of 2 number cubes = 6^2 = 36

Sum of 4 in 2 cube rolls = 3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(sum of 4) = 3 / 36 = 1 / 12

If number cube is rolled 216 times :

Probability on 1 roll * Number of rolls

(1 / 12) * 216

0.0833333 * 216

= 18
