Question

Angela rolls a pair of 6 sided number cubes. What is the probability that their sum is 11, given that their sum is greater than 8?

A. 1/18

B. 1/36

C. 1/5

D. 1/10

Answer 1

Hi Leah,

two dice rolled give us 36 possible combinations. Each die has 6 sides so 6 times 6 is 36. The only combination giving us 11 is 5 and 6.

so 2/36 reduces to 1/18 answer A.

hope this helps
