3/13

Explanation:

Here is the full question

There are seven nickels and seven dimes in your pocket. You randomly pick a coin out of your pocket and place it on a counter. Then you randomly pick another coin. Find the probability that both coins are nickels.

Because there is no replacement, after you pick the first coin, the number of coins in your pocket becomes 13 and the number of nickels in your pocket becomes 6

probability that both coins are nickels = probability that the first coin is a nickel x probability second coin is a nickel

7/14 x 6/13 = 3/13
