A bag contains 10 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 4 are blue. Manuel chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that both marbles he chooses are blue? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

P(blue marble)
4/10 or 2/5
P(blur marble)
3/9 or 1/3

2/5Ă—1/3=2/15. As a result, the probability that both marbles he chooses are blue is 2/15. Hope it help!
