Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability the sum of the two numbers on the die will be 3?

Answer as a fraction = 1/18

Answer in decimal form (approximate) = 0.0556

Answer in percent form (approximate) = 5.56%

Explanation:

We have 6*6 = 36 ways to roll out two dice. I recommend making a chart to show all the possible outcomes. You can search online for a "dice chart" or "sum of dice chart" and one will be made for you. The chart is a handy reference to see all the outcomes.

Of those 36 total outcomes, only 2 outcomes have the dice add to 3. Those two outcomes are 1+2 and 2+1.

So the number of events we want is 2 out of 36 total, meaning 2/36 = 1/18 is the probability.

Using your calculator, you should find that 1/18 = 0.0556 approximately, which converts over to 5.56% roughly.
