Billy was playing a game with their cousins at their family barbeque. Billy rolls a 6-sided die. The number of candies each player gets is determined by the number rolled. Below is the mapping of Billy's game, showing the possible inputs and outputs.

Part IV: How many candies would Billy get if they rolled a 4 on their die? Explain how you know.

1 answer

To determine how many candies Billy would get if they rolled a 4 on their die, we would refer to the mapping of inputs (the numbers on the die) to outputs (the corresponding number of candies).

Since the problem specifies that you need to look at the mapping for the possible die rolls, if the mapping indicates a specific number of candies corresponding to the roll of 4, that number is the answer.

For example, if the mapping shows:

  • Roll a 1: 1 candy
  • Roll a 2: 2 candies
  • Roll a 3: 3 candies
  • Roll a 4: 5 candies
  • Roll a 5: 7 candies
  • Roll a 6: 10 candies

In this case, if Billy rolled a 4, then he would get 5 candies, based on the mapping shown.

Since the specific mapping is not provided in your message, I would repeat that you should look at the mapping and find the corresponding number of candies for a roll of 4. Based on that, you can determine how many candies Billy would receive.
