If you're rolling a single cube, then ...

-- There are 6 possible out comes.
-- One of them (5) is a multiple of 5 .
-- The probability of rolling it is (1/6) = 16-2/3 % .

If everything is acting perfectly random, then ion 100 rolls,
you'd expect to succeed 16 or 17 times.


If you're rolling a pair of cubes, then ...

-- There are (6 x 6) = 36 possible outcomes.
-- There are seven ways to get a multiple of 5.
(1+4), (4+1), (2+3), (3+2), (4+6), (6+4), (5+5)
-- The probability of rolling one of those is
(7/36) = 19-4/9 % .

If everything is acting perfectly random, then in 100 rolls,
you'd expect to succeed 19 or 20 times.
