Paul is playing a game at the school carnival. He rolls two fair-numbered cubes numbered from 1 to 6. Paul wins a prize if both cubes land on the number 3. What is the probability Paul will win a prize? 1/36 1/6 1/4 1/12
That ones a little tricky but I think it would be 1/6 Because 2/12 would reduce to 1/6
