A drawer contains 4 red socks, 8 white socks, and 6 blue socks. Without looking, you draw out a sock, return it, and draw out a second sock. What is the probability that the first sock is white and the second sock is red?

hEY THERE i think the probability that the first sock is white would be 8/18=4/9 & the second sock being red would be 4/18 = 2/9

Hello there. I think I have the answer to your question. Without it simplified I think that the probability for white is 8/18 and for red it should be 4/18.
