Answer by solve_for_x(190)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 36 possible outcomes from the roll of two six-sided dice.
There are three outcomes that have a sum which is greater than 10:
(5, 6), (6, 5), and (6, 6)
The probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 10
is then:
(Number of outcomes > 10 / Total number of possible outcomes) = 3/36 = 1/12
