You roll each 6 sided die and find the sum. How many different sums are possible?
Let's break it down step by step:
- The minimum sum you can get when rolling two 6-sided dice is 2 (both dice show 1).
- The maximum sum you can get is 12 (both dice show 6).
So, the possible sums are the whole numbers between 2 and 12 (inclusive), which are:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
There are 11 different sums possible when rolling two 6-sided dice.
