Answer:

10 Milk chocolates

8 dark chocolates

6 white chocolates

24 TOTAL

\frac{10}{24} Probability that Hanissa choose a milk chocolate

Now, since she has already eaten one chocolate, then what's left is 23 chocolates.

So, since the second one should be a white chocolate and there are 6 of them, then

\frac{6}{23} - probability of choosing a white chocolate.

Then, multiply,

( \frac{10}{24} )( \frac{6}{23} )= \frac{60}{552} or \frac{5}{46}

Answer: 5/46 or 10.87%
