The possible outcomes when two dice are rolled are

6 \cdot 6

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

6^{2}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of a sum of 6 given that the roll is a double:

6

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{6}{6 ^{2}}
