Question

Charles rolled a number cube labeled from 1 to 6. What is the probability that he will roll a number greater than 2? in a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

4/6 or 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 numbers greater than 2 and less than or equal to 6, meaning that to roll a number greater than six, he has a 4/6 chance.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$ or 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Probability, Casework, Fractions

1) He rolled a number cube (or a dice) and it has 6 numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6

2) We want to find the probability a number will be greater than 2

The numbers that are greater than 2 are ---> 3,4,5 and 6

That is 4 numbers.

3) 4 out of 6 of the numbers work. This means the probability is 4/6

4) 4/6 then can be simplified into 2/3 (take out 2 from both the numerator and the denominator)

The answer is 2/3

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D
