Answer:


(5)/(36)

Explanation:

the total number of possible combinations of rolling two dice is 36 because a side has 6 sides and
6^(2)=36

and possible combinations that sum to 8 are

  • 2 and 6
  • 3 and 5
  • 4 and 4
  • 5 and 3
  • 6 and 2

which are 5 possible combinations which gives
(5)/(36)
