You're playing a game where you defend your village from an orc invasion. There are 3 characters (elf, hobbit, or human) and 5 defense tools (magic, sword, shield, slingshot, or umbrella) to pick from. If you randomly choose your character and tool, what is the probability that you'll be a magic elf?

Answer:

1/15

Explanation:

You have a 1/3 chance of being an elf.

You have a 1/5 change of having the magic tool.

1/3 × 1/5 = 1×1/3×5 = 1/15
