Answer: in 5.

Explanation:

The summ is greater when:

D1 = 5, D2 = 6

D1 = 6, D2 = 5

D1 = 6, D2 = 6

3 outcomes out of the 36 possible outcomes (6 for each dice, 6*6 = 36) for rolling 2 dice,

The relative probability is:

p = 3/36

Then, in 60 rolls, we can expect that:

(3/36)*60 = 5

In 5 rolls the sum of the numbers is greater than 10.
