The correct calculation is:
6/15 (probability of selecting a pineapple cake) * 2/14 (probability of selecting a strawberry cake after giving the pineapple cake) = 12/210
So, the probability that Vincent will give a pineapple cake to the first child and then a strawberry cake to the second child is 12/210.
Vincent is giving cakes to some children at a carnival. He has 2 strawberry cakes, 6 pineapple cakes, and 7 chocolate cakes. If Vincent selects a cake randomly without looking, what is the probability that he will give a pineapple cake to the first child and then a strawberry cake to the second child? (5 points)
6 over 15 multiplied by 2 over 14 is equal to 12 over 210
6 over 15 plus 2 over 14 is equal to 114 over 210
6 over 15 multiplied by 2 over 15 is equal to 12 over 225
6 over 15 plus 2 over 15 is equal to 8 over 15
