(Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

Answer:

[see explanation]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 numbers on the dice. (One number for each side.)

Total Number of events: 9

There are 2 numbers that are greater than seven.  (8 and 9)

Preferred number of events: 2

$\frac{preferred}{total} =\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{2}{9}$  is already at it's lowest terms.

The probability should be 2/9.
