Jacob rolled a number cube labeled 1 to 6. If he rolled any number divisible by 3, he would win the Summer Fun game. What is the probability he won the game?
impatient much?
Once is enough, thank you.

3 or 6
2 out of 6 = 1/3
To find the probability of winning the game, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
In this case, the number cube is labeled from 1 to 6, which means there are six possible outcomes.
To determine the number of favorable outcomes, we need to identify the numbers that are divisible by 3. These include 3 and 6.
Therefore, Jacob has two favorable outcomes (rolling a 3 or 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes.
The probability of winning the game is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Plugging in the values, we have:
Probability = 2 / 6
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Probability = 1 / 3
So, the probability that Jacob won the game is 1/3 or approximately 0.3333.
