Question

if you roll fair dice(one black die and one white die), in how many ways can you obtain a different number on each die

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

6x6 =36

another way to think of it is if one die rolls a 1, the other die can roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6

and if it rolls a 2 the other die can roll 1-6 and so on

So there are 6 possibilities of rolling 6 possibilities (if that makes sense)

Its hard to explain but hopefully the table helps
