CPM Homework Help : MC2 Problem 8-46

Lue is rolling a random number cube. The cube has six sides, and each one is labeled with a different number one through six. What is the probability he will roll a $5$ or a $3$ on one roll? .

Hint:

Each number has an equal probability of being rolled. Since there are $6$ total sides, what is the probability of getting any number?

More Help 1:

Each number has a one-in-six probability of being rolled. Since we can roll either a $5$ or a $3$ , we can add the probabilities of these two numbers together.

More Help 2:

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = ?$
