43) Kristin is carrying nine pages of math homework and four pages of English homework. A gust of wind blows the pages out of her hands and she is only able to recover nine random pages. What is the probability that she recovers all of her math homework?​

Answer: 10 pages

Explanation:

The 1st is 6/10

Then 5/9, 4/8, 3/7, 2/6, 1/5

-----

It's the product:

= 6/10, 5/9, 4/8, 3/7, 2/6, 1/5

= 3/5, 5/9, 1/2, 3/7, 1/3, 1/5

= 1/210
