Question

Two bags contain blue and red marbles. The first bag contains 3 blue and 5 red marbles. The second bag contains

2 blue and 4 red marbles. A marble is drawn from each bag. What is the probability that both marbles are blue?​

Answer 1

Answer: 1/8

Explanation:

First Bag and Second Bag

`(3\ blue)/(8\ total)` x
`(2\ blue)/(6\ total)` =
`(6)/(48)`

which reduces to
`\boxed{(1)/(8)}`
