well the two numbers on a dice divisible by three are 3 and 6
so think of all the numbers that equal three
2+1
3+0
well obviously a dice doens’t have zero. so far, you have one way the dice can be rolled (2+1)
now what numbers equal 6
5+1
4+2
3+3
there’s three more
plus the first one
equals four
you can roll the dice four different ways to get a number divisible by three
UNLESS
4+2 can also be done as 2+4
then you would have 7 possible combinations
sooooo
the 2 answers are
4 (if order doesn’t matter)
and
7 (if order does matter)
i hope this makes sense
just ask me if it doesn’t
