Question

Hannah and Corrine are playing a game by rolling two cubes, each numbered 1 through 6. If the sum of the numbers on the cubes is 7, Hannah wins. If the sum is not 7, Corrine wins. Corrine says Hannah can win only if the following occurs:
1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube
2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube
3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube

Which best explains if Corrine is correct?

Corrine is correct because there are only three ways to have a sum of 7 when the cubes are rolled.

Corrine is correct because there are no 7s on the cubes, so Hannah must roll a greater number on the second cube.

Corrine is not correct because Hannah can also roll doubles on the cubes, such as 3 on the first cube and 3 on the second cube or 4 on the first cube and 4 on the second cube.

Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Answer 1

D. Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get a sum of 7 by rolling two cubes, we need to get one of the combinations from the list below:

1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube

or

6 on the first cube, 1 on the second cube

2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube

or

5 on the first cube, 2 on the second cube

3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube

or

4 on the first cube, 3 on the second cube

Therefore, the correct answer option is D. Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

its not d because hannah needs 7 not 6 and its not c because 3+3+4+4 is more than 7 and its not b because your 2nd roll doesn't have to be the highest because you can roll a 6 on your first roll and a 1 on your 2nd roll and get 7 and your first is the highest so therefore the answer is A.
