Two bags contain blue and red marbles. The first bag contains 3 blue and 5 red marbles. The second bag contains
2 blue and 4 red marbles. A marble is drawn from each bag. What is the probability that both marbles are blue?​

Respuesta :

Answer: 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First Bag   and      Second Bag

[tex]\dfrac{3\ blue}{8\ total}[/tex]        x            [tex]\dfrac{2\ blue}{6\ total}[/tex]        =  [tex]\dfrac{6}{48}[/tex]

which reduces to [tex]\boxed{\dfrac{1}{8}}[/tex]
