Problem

Aaliyah rolls two standard 6-sided dice. She notices that the product of the two numbers rolled is a multiple of $6$ . Which of the following integers cannot be the sum of the two numbers?

$\textbf{(A) } 5\qquad\textbf{(B) } 6\qquad\textbf{(C) } 7\qquad\textbf{(D) } 8\qquad\textbf{(E) } 9$

Solution 1

Using the process of elimination, we can find the following:

$\textbf{(A)}$ is possible: $2\times 3$

$\textbf{(C)}$ is possible: $1\times 6$

$\textbf{(D)}$ is possible: $2\times 6$

$\textbf{(E)}$ is possible: $3\times 6$

The only integer that cannot be the sum is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)\ 6}}.$
