A.1/15
B.2/15
C.1/5
D.3/10

Answer 1

There are 3 green gumballs out of 6 in total. So, the odds of Jeff pulling out a green gum ball is 3/6, or 1/2.

There are 2 blue balloons out of 5 in total. So, the odds of Jeff pulling out a blue balloon is 2/5.

Therefore, the combined odds of Jeff pulling out a green gum and a blue balloon is 1/2 multiplied by 2/5, which is 2/10, or 1/5, Making the answer C.

TL;DR: The answer’s C.
