Han has four shirts in his shirt drawer – a blue shirt, a grey shirt, a white shirt, and an orange shirt. He has three pairs of pants in his pants drawer – blue pants, khaki pants, and black pants. If Han chooses a shirt without looking and then chooses pants without looking, what is the probability that he will choose pants and a shirt that are the same color?
