To start out, what is the probability that the first balloon is green?

1/4
Answered by Leo Galleguillos
Yes, that's correct. What is the probability that the second balloon is also green?
Answered by Marina
I think 2/11 but I am not sure 🤔
Answered by oobleck
also correct
Answered by Marina
And then 1/10
Answered by Leo Galleguillos
Yep, so then you can just multiply your three probabilities together, since they all need to be true to satisfy your original condition of three green balloons, and then you have your answer.

Nice going on this, btw.
