You have 36 possible outcomes.
6 of them are a 6 of the first die,
6 of them are a 5 of the second die.
Out of those 12 favorable outcomes, one (i.e. 6/5) was counted twice. You therefore have in effect 11 favorable cases out of 36
P = 11/36

Answer:
1/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sample space for rolling two dices is 36.
the first dice holds 5 and second hold 6
Therefore, the pair is (5,6) which occurs only once. so probability is 1/36
