I don't think this problem is that hard, but I can't get it.

 

A standard six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability that the product of the rolls is 1, 2, or 3?

To get 1  —>>  1, 1                    1 way      

To get 2  —>>  1, 2    2, 1          2 ways     

To get 3  —>>  1, 3    3, 1          2 ways     

                                      total      5 ways  to get a desired product     

     Total possible rolls  6 • 6 =  36     

 

Probability of getting a desired product   5 / 36   or 13.9%
