Question

When rolling a fair number cube with numbers 1 through 6, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 2?

A: 1/2
B:5/6
C:2/3
D:1/4

Answer 1

rolling a number over 2 would leave you with 3,4,5,and 6. that means there are 4/6 possibilities or 2/3. so the answer is C, 2/3

Answer 2

There are 4 numbers on the cube that are greater than 2 (3, 4, 5, and 6). So, 4 out of 6 numbers on the cube are greater than 2. 4/6 is equal to 2/3 when simplified. So, the answer is C. Hope that helps!
