A box contains 5 plain pencils and 3 pens. A second box contains 3 color pencils and 3 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?

Respuesta :

For the box that contains the plain pencils and pens, the probability of choosing a pencil is 5/8ths chance, or you could turn this into a decimal which is 62.5% chances.
 
For the other box the chance is half and half, so 1/2 or 50%.

I hope this helps! :)
