Answer: 2/6 or 1/3
Step-by-step explanation: First you want to change the two fractions to improper fractions, so 2 1/6 will become 13/6 and 1 5/6 will become 11/6.
Using those improper fractions, you subtract the numerators since the denominators are the same, so 13 - 11 is 2 for the numberator.
2/6 can be simplified into 1/3 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.

Answer:
P(0,0) = 2/12 times 1/11 = 1/66
Step-by-step explanation:
For probability questions, think of each event happening separately, it makes the maths easier to understand. For example, in this question, do not think of the two boys taking a fruit at the same time - that makes the maths complicated
.
Let Daniel take a fruit first, then Sean can take a fruit. There are two parts to consider.
P
r
o
b
a
b
i
l

t
y
=
number of desirable outcomes
total number of possible outcomes
For Daniel: there are 12 different pieces of fruit in the bowl, he just takes one without choosing a specific fruit. (random)
The chance that Daniel takes an orange is
2
12
Of the 12 pieces of fruit. 2 are oranges.
Now Sean: the numbers of fruit in the bowl have changed. There are now only 11 pieces of fruit in the bowl, and only 1 is an orange.
The chance that Sean takes an orange is
1
11
