Juan selects 2 colored pencils randomly. There are 4 green, 3 yellow, 4 red, 3 blue and 2 orange. What is the probability Juan chooses a red, replaces it, and then chooses an orange?

A: 1 over 32
B: 1 over 30
C: 8 over 225
D: 3 over 8

Answer 1

D 3 over 8
For red you divide 4/16 and get 1/4
For orange you divide 2/16 and get 1/8
You add 1/4 and 1/8 and get 3/8
