A toy machine has equal numbers of red, white, and blue foam balls which it releass at random. Ross wonders which color ball will be reduced next. Decribe how you could use a standard number cube to predict the answer.

You could assign each color to 2 different numbers.

On a number cube, there are 6 sides. However, we only have 3 different colors. If you assign each color to two different numbers, you could use the cube to make predictions.

For example:

1,2 mean Red

3,4 mean White

5,6 mean Blue
