Answer 11/150

Explanation: you have 30 socks in all and 11 of them are white that means 11/30 since you replaced the sock or put it back you still have 30 socks and out of those 30 socks there are 6 brown socks basically 6/30 (simplified it is 1/5) you must multiply 11/30 and 1/5 and that gives you 11/150
