You're playing a game where you defend your village from an orc invasion. There are 333 characters (elf, hobbit, or human) and 555 defense tools (magic, sword, shield, slingshot, or umbrella) to pick from. If you randomly choose your character and tool, what is the probability that you'll be a magic elf?

So if you randomly chose a character Itd be 1 in 3 or 1/3. Choose a defense tool. 1 in 5 or 1/5 multiply 1/3 by 1/5 you get 1 in 15 or 1/15
