    7/12.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total possible outcomes = 6*6 = 36.

    Possible outcomes for a total 8 or greater are:

    2,6 6,2 3,5 5,3 3,6 6,3 4,4 4,5 5,4 4,6 6,4 5,5, 5,6 6,5 6,6 = 15.

    So the number of outcomes for a sum < 8 = 36 - 15 = 21.

    Answer is 21/36 = 7/12.
