Hello, I hope all is well to you and your family.
About your question, starting with 2 cubes that have 6 numbers total for each one, so 2 cubes will have 12 numbers total, and the probability of number 5 is 2/12 (because each cube has a number 5, so two cubes will have 2, and fraction for it will be 2/12). After simplify, the final result is 1/6.
Hope the answer will help you.

the answer should be 1/9. your combinations are (1 and 4), (2 and 3), (3 and 2), or (4 and 1). the probability of rolling a number on each cube is 1/6, so the probability of rolling a number on two cubes at the same time would be 1/6 x 1/6, which is 1/36. So the probability of rolling each combination listed at the top is 1/36. There are 4 combinations total, so add them up: 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 = 4/36. Simplify: 4/36 = 1/9.
