Two boxes sit on a desk. One has 5 pencils that are yellow, blue, red, green, and brown. The other box has 3 sticky notepads in yellow, pink, and green. What is the probability of picking a red pencil and a pink
sticky notepad out if you take one item from each box?

Step-by-step explanation:

The two boxes do not have an order of picking. Sometimes that matters.

Pencils: 1/5

Pink Sticky:1/3

To get both of them, the probability is 1/5 * 1/3 = 1/15
