The table below shows the number of marbles of different colors in a bag:
Color of Marbles Number of Marbles
Pink 6
Blue 3
Green 9
Paige draws a marble from the bag randomly without looking. She then draws another marble from the bag without replacing the first one. Which expression shows the probability of drawing pink marbles in both the trials? (1 point)
6 over 18 multiplied by 5 over 18
6 over 18 multiplied by 5 over 17
6 over 18 added to 5 over 17
6 over 18 added to 5 over 18
The correct expression is:
6 over 18 multiplied by 5 over 17
This is because after Paige draws a pink marble on the first trial, there are now only 5 pink marbles left out of the remaining 17 marbles in the bag.
