Elizabeth lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, she has 3 transportation options (take a bus, a cab, or a train) to work, and in the evening she has the same 3 choices for her trip home.

If Elizabeth randomly chooses her ride in the morning and in the evening, what is the probability that she'll use a cab exactly one time?
(Both Percentage and Fraction if you can please)

Fraction: 1/3

Percentage: 33.3%
100% ÷ 3 (bus,cab,train) =33.3
