Question

The probability of getting a red gumball from a gumball machine is 1/8. The probability of getting a red piece of candy from a candy machine is 1/6. If both a gumball and a piece of candy are purchased, what is the probability that both are red?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/48

Step-by-step explanation: equation: 1/8x1/6

you have to multiply both numerators together (1x1)=1 then you multiply the denominators together (8x6)=48. you can't simplify it so your answer is 1/48
