Step-by-Step Solution

Writing each throw as (white, yellow), the favourable throws are (1,2), (2,4) and (3,6); a white 4, 5 or 6 would need a yellow 8, 10 or 12, which no die has. So also counts (2,1), (4,2) and (6,3), but in those it is the WHITE die that is twice the yellow; misses one of the three throws; names only a single throw.
