draw a table. sure you already have

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

is it 5/18?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

don't mass tag people

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

ok but is it 5/18??

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

someone pls help

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

you gotta get all the even combinations for the sum of 8 since the sum is even to get 8, only even numbers on the die count

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

oh so it can't be things like 5+3

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

so 3/18?

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

hello

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

can someone please help

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

how did you get 5/18

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

because theres 5 ways that the two di can add up to 8 when being rolled

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

odd pairs don't count in here

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

ya so then its 3 ways

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

sorry I was afk

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

oh ok

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

mhm 4 4 2 6 6 2

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

ya so would it be 3/18

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

because then theres 18 dif ways the sums can be even

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I think we can reduce that fraction further to make it 1/6

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

ohh thats right

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

so the final answer would be 1/6 right

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah

OpenStudy (egsgsrge):

yay ok thank u so much

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i think it's 5/18
