SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

The number of chips of different colors in Gail's bag is shown below
-2 blue chips
-4 pink chips
-8 white chips
Gail takes out a chip from the bag randomly without looking, She replaces the chip and then takes out another chip from the bag. What is the probability that Gail takes out a white chip in both draws?

Answer:

8 over 15 multiplied by 7 over 14 is equal to 56 over 210

8 over 15 plus 7 over 14 is equal to 217 over 210

8 over 15 plus 8 over 15 is equal to 16 over 15

8 over 15 multiplied by 8 over 15 is equal to 64 over 225

She's taking it out and then she replaces it

and so that means the denominator would stay 15 both times

and since it's a white chip in both draws, it would be 8/15 * 8/15
