Answer:


(3)/(28)

Explanation:

Probability (P) is calculated as

P =
(requiredoutcome)/(count)

The first required outcome is a red sweet from a total of 3 + 5 = 8

P( red) =
(3)/(8)

There are now 2 red left and a count of 7, since 1 has been eaten, thus

P( second red ) =
(2)/(7)

P( red and red ) =
(3)/(8) ×
(2)/(7) =
(6)/(56) =
(3)/(28)
