There are 6 possible outcomes for each die, so the total number of outcomes for three dice (in which order matters) is 6*6*6=216.

\n" ); document.write( "There is only one way to get a sum of 3: 1 on each of the three dice.

\n" ); document.write( "So the probability of getting a sum of 3 is 1/216.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
