Answer: 6/36

Step-by-step explanation:

When tossing two number cubes, you can get such sample space

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

There are 36 possible outcomes. Only (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), and (6,6) use the same number twice.

Hence, the probability that you roll two numbers that are the same in a row is 6/36, or in simplified form, 1/6.

Hope that helps! :)
