A standard six-sided die has the faces numbered from 1 to 6 with dots (pips) representing these numbers. The total number of dots on one die is the sum of the numbers 1 through 6:
1+2+3+4+5+6=211+2+3+4+5+6=211+2+3+4+5+6=21
Therefore, for a pair of dice, the total number of dots is twice that amount:
21×2=4221\times 2=4221×2=42
So, there are 42 dots in total on a pair of standard dice
