Answer:

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling for 2 : (1, 1)

Rolling for 5 : (1, 4), (4, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2)

So, there are (4 + 1) = 5 possible outcomes out of 36 outcomes

Note: There are 36 outcomes when rolling a two fair cubes.


\sf Probability = (possible \ outcomes)/(Total \ outcomes)


\rightarrow \sf (5)/(36) \ x \ 100


\rightarrow \sf \frac{125}9} \%


\rightarrow \sf 13.9 \%
