The probability that you roll a 2 or 4 is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a 2 = 1/6

Probability of a 4 = 1/6

probability of a 2 or 4 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

Answer 2

$\text{We need to find the probability of rolling a 2 or 4}\\\\\text{Rolling a 2 or 4 is our intended outcome}\\\\\text{Therefore, it would be 2 outcomes in our probability}\\\\\text{We also know that there are a total of 6 sides in a number cube}\\\text{This represents our total amount of outcomes}\\\\\text{With the information above, we would write our probability as:}\frac{2}{6}\\\\\text{You can simplify it by dividing by 2}\\\\\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$
