there are 6 numbers per cube,

 the chance of rolling one and getting the number 1 is a 1/6 probability

for the sum to be odd, you need to roll either a 2, 4 or 6 on the second cube so that gives you a 3/6 probability

 so 1/6 x 3/6 = 3/36 which can be reduced to 1/12

 so you have a 1/12 probability
