1/4

Yes, that's correct. What is the probability that the second balloon is also green?
Marina
I think 2/11 but I am not sure 🤔
oobleck
also correct
Marina
And then 1/10
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.
