:) thx for trying

Answer 8

The probability of rolling any number is 1/6. There are 5 numbers greater than 1. Therefore the probability of rolling a number greater than 1 is given by
\[\large \frac{1}{6} \times\frac{5}{1}=\frac{5}{6}\]
Now you need to multiply the probability of rolling a number greater than 1 by the number of rolls.

Answer 9

So I need to multiply 5/6 by something?

Answer 10

Yes. Multiply the fraction by the given number of rolls.

Answer 11

oh so multiply 5/6*1000=833.333333333=833 so my answer is B.

Answer 12

Correct.
