Answer: 1/12

Explanation:

Number of sugar cookies = 6

Number of lemon cookies = 4

Number of chocolate cookies = 2

Total number of cookies = 6+4+2 = 12

The probability of firs choosing a sugar cookie will be: = 6/12 = 1/2

The probability of then choosing a chocolate cookie will be: = 2/12 = 1/6

Then we multiply both probabilities together and this will be:

= 1/2 × 1/6

= 1/12
