Answer:

1/36, or approximately 0.028

Explanation:

The probability of getting the same number on two six-sided dice is 1/6, or approximately 0.17.

This is because there are six possible outcomes for each dice, and only one of those outcomes results in the same number on both dice (for example, both dice showing a 6).

So, out of the 36 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, only one of them results in the same number on both dice. Therefore, the probability of this happening is 1/36, or approximately 0.028.
