A 12-sided number cube with the numbers 1 through 12 is rolled. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the probability that the number cube lands on a number greater than 10 is

Since it is a 12-sided number cube, there is an equal chance that any number is picked. This means that each individual number has a probability of 1/12 or 0.0833 probability of being picked. The probability that the number cube lands on a number greater than 10 is P(>10) and is equal to P(10) + P(11) + P(12). Since those are all equal to 1/12, the answer would be 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12, or 3/12, which simplifies to 1/4  = 0.25 = 25%.
The answer would be 2/12 (because 11 and 12 are greater than 10) but since it says to round it to the nearest hundredth, I assume it wants it as a decimal. So to turn it to a decimal we will first simplify it (1/6) and then do 1÷6, which is 0.167. (rounded to the nearest hundredth.)

The answer is 0.167.
