Each of four friends orders a sweatshirt from a catalog. There are 18 colors of sweatshirts, 6 of which are all cotton and 12 of which are a blend. Each one orders a different color (no repeats) at random. What is the probability that the friends order only cotton sweatshirts?

Answer:

1/204.

Explanation:

That would be

6/18 * 5/17 * 4/16 * 3/15

= 1/3 * 1/4 * 1/5 * 5/17

= 5/1020

= 1/204.
