Question

Jason has two bags with 6 tiles each. The tiles in each bag are shown below: Make 6 squares. The squares are numbered sequentially from 1 to 6. Without looking, Jason draws a tile from the first bag and then a tile from the second bag. What is the probability of Jason drawing the tile numbered 5 from the first bag and an odd tile from the second bag? 3 over 6 4 over 6 3 over 36 4 over 36

Answer 1

Well, if he has two bags with 6 tiles each, you need to add up the number of tiles he has in total, so 6+6=12, which will be your denominator. Then to find the numerator, you have to think about how many even tiles that he has in total. 2, 4, and 6 are even numbered and he has two sets of each of those. So using that, what do you think the answer is? ^.^
