anonymous · Answer

well, its part of some geometry work so thats why i categorized it like that((:

misty1212 · Answer

lets count the possible rolls that are not more than five 
there are a bunch of them
(1,1)
(1,2),(2,1)
(1,3) ,(3,1),(2,2)
(1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2)

misty1212 · Answer

i count ten right?

misty1212 · Answer

of those ten possible rolls, the bottom 7 are greater than 3
that makes your answer 
$$\frac{7}{10}=0.7=70\%$$
