    If you roll two dice, there is a total of 36 different outcomes.

    Of those, these have a sum of 8:

    2, 6

    3, 5

    4, 4

    5, 3

    6, 2

    That is 5 outcomes of a sum of 8.

    p (sum of 8) = 5/36

    The answer is 5/36

    Possible total combinations is 6 * 6 = 36 (six faces on each cube)

    Possibility of rolling an 8 is 6+2, 5+3, 4+4, 3+5, and 2+6 so the total is 5

    So divide possible combinations by the total number of combinations to get 5/36
