we know that
total toppings=15
meat toppings=5

The first person has a
5/15 chance of getting a meat topping.

The second person has a
4/14 chance because there are no repeats,

The third person would have a
3/13 chance.
Since there are three multiply
5/15 * 4/14 * 3/13.=60/2730
60/2730-------> divide by 30 both members------> 2/91

the answer is
2/91
