Question

Susan rolled a die 888 times.

Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times she rolled the number 3 on the die?

A. 248
B. 260
C. 151
D. 103

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 151

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 6 sides on a die, and one of them is 3, the chance of rolling a 3 is 1/6.

To estimate how many times Susan rolled a 3, multiply 888 by 1/6:

888(1/6)

= 148

So, Susan rolled 3 on the die around 148 times.

This is closest to answer choice C. 151
