Franklin rolls a pair of six-sided fair dice with sides numbered 1 through 6.

The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either even or a multiple of 5 is

The answer is 7/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find out how many possible outcomes there are from rolling a pair of dice. On one cube, you can roll a 1,2,3,4,5, or 6; so there are 6 outcomes. Since there are two cubes, you multiply 6 by itself to get a total of 36 possible outcomes. Next, you find the probability of the sum of the numbers rolled being an even number; the possibilities are 2,4,6,8,10, or 12, which is 6/36. The probability of rolling a multiple of 5; the one possibility is just 5, since we already accounted for rolling a 10 as an even number. So that is 1/36. The word or says that we add the two probabilities, so the final answer is 6/36+1/36=7/36.
