Algebra.Com's Answer #23140 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can either list all the six possibilities or just reason it out. \n" ); document.write( "Let us do it the second way. \n" ); document.write( "If the die does not have the six-pip face down, than all five of those possibilities have products divisible by six, since six is one of the faces you can see. \n" ); document.write( "In the one case where the six-pip is face down, you can still see the two and the three...and of course their product is also divisible by six, so that the final answer is \n" ); document.write( "100% or 1 (complete certainty) \n" ); document.write( " |
