Image: Dice

If numbers on the opposite faces of this box add up to 7. Find 

1. Which number is on the opposite side of 2?

2. Which number will be at the bottom?

3. If you open it up, draw an image to show the pattern.

Ans: 

1. Here, the sum of the numbers on the opposite faces is 7.

Therefore, 5 is on the opposite side of 2. Because 2 + 5 = 7

2. Again, the sum of the number on the opposite face is 7,

Therefore, 6 will be at the bottom because 1 + 6 = 7

3. We can say, 4 is on the opposite side of 3 because 4 + 3 = 7

• 5 is on the opposite side of 2.

• 6 is on the opposite side of 1.

The required pattern will be
