Question

A box contains 3 cherry frozen treats and 2 grape frozen treats. Maggie takes a treat from the box without looking, gives it to her brother, and then selects another treat. What is the probability that Maggie and her brother gets a grape treat

Answer 1

1/10

Explanation:

When Maggie gives a grape treat to her brother, there are 2 grape treats out of 5 total treats.

When Maggie selects another treat, there is 1 grape treat out of 4 treats left.

So the probability that both happen is:

2/5 × 1/4

1/10
