A pair of dice are rolled and the sum on their upturned faces is recorded. What is the probability that the sum showing is 8, given that one die is showing a 5?

Answer: 1/6.
Did I come up with the right answer?
Thanks.

It looks right to me. You already know one die is 5, so you are just seeking the probability of the other die showing a 3.
