A bag contains 9 marbles: 4 are green, 3 are red, and 2 are blue. Austin chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that the first marble is blue and the second is green? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

2/9*3/8=6/72=1/9 once you take out the first marble the probability changes for each of the colors

I think it would be 4/9 green, 2/9 blue
