Answer 2

How would I figure this out @satellite73

Answer 3

Well there are 6 total possibilities and it is asking for the chance that two of them will be picked. So it would be \[\frac{ 2 }{ 6 }\] which simplifies to \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] So now that we know the chance of it happening, we just mmultiply it by the total amount of times it has the chance of happening. So \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }*36\]

Answer 4

as a fraction or division?

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }*\frac{ 36 }{ 1 } \to \frac{ 36 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 6

Im bad at fractions bare with me xD

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 36 }{ 3 }\] Is the same as 36 divided by three. Whenever you have a fraction multiplication it is good to write them out, helps a lot :)

Answer 8

12?

Answer 9

Yep, it would be 12
