Explanation

Multiples of 3 between 1 and 12 are {3, 6, 9, 12}. There are 4 such numbers. Probability = 4 / 12 = 1/3.

AI explanation

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling the die is 12. The multiples of 3 between 1 and 12 are 3, 6, 9, and 12, giving exactly 4 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated by dividing the 4 favorable outcomes by the 12 total outcomes, which results in 4/12 or 1/3.
