You are playing a game that involves 2 number cubes. What is the probability that the sum of the 2 cubes equals 8? Write your answer as a simplified fraction.(1 point)

Answer 1

There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two number cubes (6 sides on each cube).

To find the number of outcomes where the sum is 8, we can list out all the possible combinations:
(2,6) (3,5) (4,4) (5,3) (6,2)

There are 5 outcomes where the sum is 8.

Therefore, the probability is 5/36.
