Answer:

1. 5/40

2. 3/20

3.

4. 0

Explanation:

1. 5/40

There are 5 pairs of 6 inch pliers out of a basket with 40 pliers in the basket. So there is only a 2% chance one of those pliers would get chosen so its impossible to happen.

2. 3/20

There are 3 large hammers in the basket which has 20 hammers in it. So there is only a 15% chance so its not likely to happen.

3. I don't really know about this one

4. 0%

There are no 6 inch pliers in the second basket whish only has 20 hammers in it so it is impossible to pick one out because there's a 0% chance of it happening
