Question

A twelve-sided die with sides labeled 1 through 12 will be rolled once. Each number is equally likely to be rolled.
What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

use the fraction

$\frac{possible \: outcomes}{total \: outcome}$

there are 3 possible outcomes (1, 2, and 3) that are less than 4.

There are 12 total numbers. Make the fraction 3/12. Reduce by 3 and you get 1/4.

Answer 2

1/3

You put 4 as the numerator and 12 as the denominator,
Then you simplify it by any table, but the highest possible table is recommended, to do fast calculations.
