B Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of rolling a 5 on one die is 1/6. Since the dice are independent, the probability of rolling a 5 on both is (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36. 1/36 is approximately 0.0277.

AI explanation

The total number of outcomes when rolling two dice is 36. Getting a 5 on both dice means the outcome must be exactly (5, 5), which is only 1 favorable outcome. The probability is 1 divided by 36, which equals approximately 0.027.
