Answer:

1/30

Explanation:

the probability of picking white is 2/16 simplified to 1/8

the probability of picking a green would equal to 4/15

notice that it is not 4/16, because you already picked out one of the colours, and you are not replacing it, so if you take it out, then there is 15 left to pick from.

you would then multiply

1/8 x 4/15

= 4/120

simplified to

1/30
