Think of any multiple of three. That number plus three is the next-higher multiple of three. Right?
For example, 12 is a multiple of 3 (3 x 4). Add 3 and you get 15 (3 x 5).
So 15 - 3 = a multiple of 3.
Same thing will work with ANY multiple of 3, no matter how high you go. Can you see why?

If two dice are thrown what is the probability that at least one of them shows a number greater than 3?
This is the same as 1 minus the probability that neither of them are greater than three. This is 1, minus the probability of getting greater than three, squared. Rolling higher than three has a 1/2 probability, so: P(at least one greater than 3) = 1 - (1/2)2 = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
