Answer 1

The probability that both kittens are tabby is 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that both kittens are tabby, you need to determine the ratio of tabby kittens to total kittens. Let's say there are 10 kittens in total and 4 of them are tabby. So, the probability would be 4/10, which can be simplified to 2/5. Therefore, the probability that both kittens are tabby is 2/5.
