Question

when rolling a number cube, What is the probability of rolling an odd number or a multiple of two

Answer 1

Hi Alyssa,

The probability of rolling an odd number is (1,3,5) 3/6 = 1/2

the probability of rolling a multiple 2 (2,4,6) is 3/6 =1/2

(Hint OR means ADD, AND means multiply )

The probability of rolling an odd number OR rolling a multiple of 2 would be

1/2 + 1/2

Add the two fractions and you have the answer

hope this helps!
