Answer:

7/15

Explanation:

P(appetizers with cheese) = number with cheese / total = 1/5

P(entrees with cheese) = number with cheese / total = 1/3

It is the P(a) + P(b) - P(a and b)

We cannot double count the cheese and cheese event)

P( cheese and cheese) = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

1/5 + 1/3 - 1/15

3/15 + 5/15 -1/15

8/15 - 1/15

7/15
