There are 52 ways to choose a card and 6 ways to roll a die for a total of #52xx6=312# ways

Explanation:

This is called the Multiplication Rule ... two independent events (choosing a card and rolling a die). The total number of outcomes will equal the the sample space for the first event times the sample space for the second event ...

deck of cards has a sample space of 52

6-sided die has a sample space of 6

Total number of outcomes # = 52xx6=312#

hope that helped
