You move it backward like 0.054 times 100 is 5.4

Since we're drawing without replacement, let's first calculate the probability that the 1st marble is white. There are 3 white marbles out of a total of 8 marbles. So the probability of the 1st marble being white is 3/8.
Now assuming that the first marble picked is white, the probability of the second marble is 2 out of the 7 remaining marbles. So it's probability is 2/7.
This means that the probability of both marbles being white is 3/8 * 2/7 = 6/56 = 3/28, or approximately 10.7%</span>
The other part of your ratio is missing
The product of two positive fractions are also less than one because you are multiplying a number which is already less than 1.
For example.
1/ 2 = is 50% of a whole.
When you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 you do not get the 100% of the whole because you are only getting 50% of the 50% of the whole, which in turn is equivalent to 25% of the whole.
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of the whole.
The only time you can get a result of 1 and above where two fractions are less than 1 is when you perform addition of these fractions.
1/2 + 1/2 = 1 - ALL CREDITS GO TO @TASKMASTERS!
The answer is 0.51111111111111111 (It goes on for infinity).
