Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 10 total cards, and there are 5 cards that have numbers greater than 5.  

The chances of getting a card greater than 5 is 5/10 = 1/2

Since the card is being replaced, the chances of it happening the second time are the same.

To get the probability of both events happening, multiply the two probabilities.  1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

So there is a 1/4 chance that both cards are over 5.
