A bag contains 4 yellow tiles and 2 green tiles . A tile will be taken from the bag at random and set aside. A second tile will then be taken from the bag at random . What is the probability that both tiles will be green?​

There is a 40 percent chance because there are more yellow tiles than green

Answer:1/15

Explanation:

In total there are 6 marbles. 2 out of 6 are green so it'll be 2/6 green marbles. If one is taken away and put aside with no replacement, then it'll be 1/5. (1 out of the 5 marbles left) Then you'll multiply 2/6 and 1/5 and you'll get 1/15.
