Question

Gloria has 11 markers in a backpack. One of them is purple and one is gray. Find the probability Gloria will reach into the backpack without looking and grab the purple marker and then reach in a second time and grab the gray marker. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

She has 1 in 11 chances of getting the purple one

One of her choices is gone after she takes out the purple one. She has a 1 in 10 chance of taking out the gray one.

1/11 * 1/10 = 1/110
