Abox contains 1 plain pencil and 4 pens. a second box contains 5 color pencils and 5 crayons. one item from each box is chosen at random. what is the probability that a plain pencil from the first box and a color pencil from the second box are selected? write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

hope that , fam!
