The probability of Manny choosing a green pencil is 6/10 = 3/5, and the probability of Manny choosing a red marker is 4/7.
Therefore, the probability of both events happening is (3/5) * (4/7) = 12/35.
So, the probability of Manny choosing a green pencil and a red marker is 12 over 35.
Manny has two boxes. The first box contains 10 colored pencils.
4 of the colored pencils are red
6 of the colored pencils are green
The other box contains 7 markers.
4 of the markers are red
3 of the markers are blue
Manny chooses one colored pencil at random, and one marker at random. What is the probability of Manny choosing a green pencil and a red marker?
6 over 35
9 over 35
12 over 35
8 over 35
