    0.6667 = 66.67%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If each number cube has 6 numbers, the two cubes have a total of 6 * 6 = 36 results.

    To have equal numbers in each cube, the cases are:

    (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) - > 6 cases

    To have a odd sum, the cases are:

    (1,2), (1,4), (1,6),

    (2,1), (2,3), (2,5),

    (3,2), (3,4), (3,6),

    (4,1), (4,3), (4,5),

    (5,2), (5,4), (5,6),

    (6,1), (6,3), (6,5). - > 18 cases

    So we have a total of 18 + 6 = 24 cases, then the probability is:

    P = 24 / 36 = 0.6667 = 66.67%
