An 8-sided die shows the numbers 1 to 8.
A 6-sided die shows the numbers 1 to 6.
If both dice are rolled at the same time, how many possible outcomes are there?
Yes, that is correct! There are 8 possible outcomes for the first die and 6 possible outcomes for the second die, so the total number of possible outcomes when both dice are rolled together is 8 times 6, which equals 48.
I'd say that would be 8*6 = 48
8*6= 48
To determine the number of possible outcomes when rolling two dice, you need to multiply the number of outcomes for each die.
In this case, the 8-sided die has 8 possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 8), and the 6-sided die has 6 possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6).
To find the total number of possible outcomes, you multiply these two numbers together: 8 * 6 = 48.
So, when rolling both dice at the same time, there are 48 possible outcomes.
