Question 203610: What is the probability of getting a sum of 3 when three standard dice are rolled? Express your answer as a common fraction. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! there is only one way to get a three when rolling three dice -- they all have to come up a one
since there are 216 possible combinations (6 * 6 * 6); the odds of a three are (1 / 216)
