Question
Suppose Dan has 3 black hats, 5 blue hats, and 1 gray hat. He also has 6 black rings, 3 blue rings, 4 red rings, 5 gray rings,
and 2 green rings. If he randomly chooses a hat and a ring, what is the probability that the hat is blue and the ring is red?
Give your answer as an exact fraction and reduce the fraction as much as possible.

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Dan has 20 rings and 9 hats out of which 5 hats are blue and 4 rings are red, there is a 5/9 x 4/20 chance that he will pick those two. When you simplify the fractions you get a 1/9 chance that Dan will choose such options.
