Answer:
What is the probability of choosing a pen from the first box? It is 5/8.
What is the probability of selecting a crayon from the second box? It is 3/12 = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of picking a pen from the first box and a crayon from the second box is 5/8 x 1/4 = 5/32.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ok...so in the first box there is 2 pencils and 2 pens...a total of 4 things in this box.....so the probability of picking a pen will be :
number of pens / total things in the box........2/4 which reduces to 1/2.
second box.....1 pencil and 9 crayons...a total of 10 things
probability of picking a crayon is :
number of crayons / total things in the box .....9/10
the probability of both these things happening can be found by multiplying ur results
1/2 * 9/10 = 9/20 <== can also be written as 9:20 or 9 to 20
