1) If we roll a pair of dices we'll have the following combinations, the first number is for the first dice. The second for the second dice:

1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,6

2,1 2,2 2,2 . (...)

3,1 3,2 3,3

(...)

(6,1) 6,6

Until we have a total of 36 outcomes.

2) So the probability of rolling two sixes is

P (6,6) =1/36

Because there is only one favorable result, over the total outcomes (36)
