Assuming fair dice,
each of the pair has an equal chance of landing on any of their six faces.
These events should occur independently, so there are 36 total possibilities of equal probability.
That is, each possibility has a probability 1/36.
An 8 can be made with the possibilities (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2).
Any of these possibilities will work so we want the probability that any of them will occur.
This can be calculated by adding their probabilities since they are mutually exclusive events.
There are 5 of them, each with probability 1/36. So the probability of rolling an 8 is therefore
5/36

What is the chance of rolling a 6 twice in a row on a die?

The chance of rolling a 6 twice in a row, on a six-sided die, is 1 in 36 or 2.78%. The number of possible different results for rolling a six-sided die twice is 6 squared (6 times 6), or 36, therefore the probability of getting any one of the possible results is 1 out of 36.
