Step 1 :The sample space for rolling two dice is 36 (6 outcomes for the first die times 6 outcomes for the second die).
Step 2 :We need to find the number of outcomes where the sum of the dice is 6. These are (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1). So there are 5 such outcomes.
Step 3 :The probability is therefore \(\frac{5}{36}\).
Step 4 :Final Answer: The probability that the sum of the dice is 6 is \(\boxed{\frac{5}{36}}\).
