jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many times does a '4' show up (based on the table)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only once

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, look at the table again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no twice

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so four plus 4 is eight

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many times does 5 show up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it only show once

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look in column 2 next to the '5'

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

column 2 records how many times a certain face shows up

OpenStudy (perl):

*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 times

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how about 6? how many times does 6 show up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 6/12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

one time? are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes one time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

again look to the right of 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 times

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok add up the values 2, 2, 4 (that are next to 4,5,6) so we get: 2+2+4 = 8 this is out of 12 since the numbers in column 2 add to 12 so that's why the answer is 8/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):
