A box contains 3 plain pencils and 9 plain pens. A second box contains 7 color pencils and 3 crayons. One item from the box is chosen at random. What is the probability that a plain pencil from the first box and a color pencil from the second box are selected?
+2094 The probability of picking a pen from the first box is 5/8.
The probability of picking a crayon from the second box is 3/12 = 1/4.
Therefore. 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.
Hope this helped!
+23246 The first box contains 3 plain pencils and 9 plain pens; therefore, the probability that a plain pencil is chosen
from this box is 3/12.
The second box contains 7 colors pencils and 3 crayons; therefore, the probability that a color pencil is chosen
from this box is 7/10.
To find the final probability, multiply these two values together: (3/12) x (7/10) = the answer
