Question

Help! In a board game, the distance a player travels is equal to the sum of the numbers shown when two 6-sided dice are tossed.

How many different distances are possible?

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

Answer 1

11

Explanation:

The dice has 6 sides and there are two dice

D1 + D2 = S

1 + 1 = 2

1 + 2 = 3

1 + 3 = 4

1 + 4 = 5

1 + 5 = 6

1 + 6 = 7

2 + 6 = 8

3 + 6 = 9

4 + 6 = 10

5 + 6 = 11

6 + 6 = 12

If we count all the possible sums there are 11.
