Answer 1

`(5)/(36)`

Explanation:

probability of desired outcome:

Number of desired outcomes/number of total outcomes

To find the numerator just count the number of times the condition is satisfied

I get 5

1,5

2,4

3,3

4,2

5,1

The number of total outcomes is just 6² or 36

So the final answer is just 5/36
