You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a box along the outside edge write the numbers 1 through 6 on the top and left edge. now put the 36 sums of the outside numbers inside. Then you will understand the answers below.
.
a) 4/36,5/36,6/36
.
b)6+4+4=14/36 I subtracted 1 each for the 6 and 8 to avoid counting the 3,3 and 4,4 twice.
.
c)4+3+2+1+1=11/36
