Question

Tabitha and her mother went to the pet store. Her mother told her she could either choose a cat, dog, or fish, and either get a toy for the pet or a book about the pet.
What is the probability that she chooses a four-legged pet and a toy for it?

Answer= 1/3

Answer 1

There are 2 four-legged pets and Tabitha can choose between a toy or book about the pet.

There is a 2/3 chance of getting a four-legged pet, and a 1/2 chance of getting a toy.

2/3*1/2 = 1/3

You are correct. Tabitha has a 1/3 chance of getting a four-legged pet and a toy.

I hope this helps!
