| The total number of possible combinations when throwing in two dice: 6 * 6 = 36.
Of these, favorable outcomes can be listed:
1 dice 2 dice total amount
1 4 5
4 1 5
2 3 5
3 2 5
Thus, there are a total of 4 favorable outcomes.
We will find probability as the ratio of the number of 4 favorable outcomes to the number of all possible combinations 36.
4/36 = 0.111111 …
Round to the hundredth. Answer: 0, 11
