Question

John has two bags of colored cubes. The first bag has 3 red cubes, 6 blue cubes, and 1 orange cube. The second bag has 5 red cubes, 3 blue cubes, and 4 orange cubes. John will randomly select one colored cube from each bag. What is the probability that John will pick an orange cube from each bag? Put your answer in fraction form.

Answer 1

Bag 1 = 1/10 or 1 out of 10
Bag 2 = 1/3 or 1 out of 3



To find the probability you need to add all of the possible outcomes and divide your wanted out come by it

Bag 1
3+6+1=10
1 orange cube / 10 total cubes
1/10

Bag 2
5+3+4=12
4 orange cubes / 12 total cubes
4/12=1/3
