SEEING AS EACH NUMBER HAS THE PROBABILITY OF 1/12 OR 8.333%.
AND YOU HAVE 3,6,9,&12 ARE THE NUMBERS OF INTEREST.
WE HAVE 4*.08333=.33333 OR 33.33% OR 1/3 CHANCE OF LANDING ON A NMUMBER THAT IS A MULTIPLE OF 3.

35. What are the odds in favor of stopping on a multiple of 3?
---------------------------------
The multiples of 3 are 3,6,9,12
There are four multiples of three.
--------------------------------
Probability(landing on a multiple of 3) = 4/12 = 1/3
---------------------
Odds "in favor of" an event = P(event happens)/P(event does not happen)
----------------------
Your Problem:
Odds in favor of stopping on multiple of 3) = (1/3)/(2/3) = 1/2 = 1:2
