Hey!

Grape over total:
(4)/(12)

After he drinks 1, there will be 1 less. That means it will be over 11

Orange over total:
(5)/(11)

Now multiply the fractions


(4)/(12) * (5)/(11) = (20)/(132) \rightarrow (10)/(66) \rightarrow (5)/(33)

That means the probability is:
(5)/(33)

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
