answering marlo's question

Marlo's question was If two dice are thrown in the air at the same time, what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers turn up less than 11?

A) 5/6
B)11/12
C)1/6
D)1/12


The answer is B) 11/12 because
1+1=2
1+2=3
1+3=4
1+4=5
1+5=6
1+6=7
You have an idea XD haha. The rest of the probabilities have a total under 12 except for 6+6 because it equals 12
