PLEASE HELP!!! WORTH 20 POINTS!!!!

There are three boxes, one containing two oranges, another containing two apples, and another containing one apple and one orange. You select a random fruit from a random box and you find it to be an orange. What is the probability that the other fruit in the same box is also an orange.

1/1 because if you’ve already take one or orange out of the box you would only have one left to select two from the same box. you started with 2/2 and took one out put 1/1.
