Answer 7

the table attached shows all the possible outcomes of rolling two dice (and summing them up)

tcarroll010 pointed out the only 3 ways to do this (one is 4,6...4 on the first, 6 on the second to get 4+6 = 10)

Answer 8

come on quick its confusing

Answer 9

wrongg its 1/12

Answer 10

i know i did that

Answer 11

yes you have to reduce 3/36 to get 1/12

always always always reduce

but tcarroll010 wasn't giving you the answer as s/he was giving you steps leading up to the answer (so you would do some of it yourself)

Answer 12

1/12 is the only one I would go for though since it's always a good idea to reduce
