Solution:

we are given that

Joachim wants to win the giant monkey at the carnival game. To do so, he'll need to roll two ones with a single toss of a pair of number cubes.

As we knows that each cube has six faces and on each face we have diffrent numbers 1 through 6.

So probability of getting six on any cube
=(1)/(6)

So probability of getting six on any cube simultaneously
=(1)/(6)*(1)/(6)

The probability that he will win the monkey
=(1)/(6)*(1)/(6)=(1)/(36)
