The probability of picking a 6 on the first card is 1/3, since there is one 6 out of three total cards.
If the first card was a 6, then there are two cards remaining (5 and 7) that are less than 7 out of a total of three cards.
So the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 7 is (1/3) * (2/3) = 2/9.
Therefore, the probability is 2/9.
You pick a card at random, put it back, and then pick another card at random.
5
6
7
