Answer:

11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of dice.

Only 1 outcome gets both 3's. (3 3)

For the sum to be greater than 8, there are 10 outcomes.

(3 6) (4 5) (4 6) (5 4) (5 5) (5 6) (6 3) (6 4) (6 5) (6 6)

The probability is therefore (1+10)/36=11/36.
