    Solution

    When two six-sided dice are thrown, there is a total of 6 × 6 = 36 6×6=36 possible outcomes, as each die has six faces numbered from 1 to 6. To find the number of ways to get a sum of 7, we can list all the possible combinations that result in a sum of 7: (1, 6) (2, 5) (3, 4) (4, 3) (5, 2) (6, 1) There are 6 ways to get a sum of 7.
