(5/16)*(4/15) Mya selects a fruit and you want it to be an apple so that is 5 apples out of 16 fruits total. After Mya selects one fruit and it is an apple, there is one less fruit and apple. So 5-1/16-1. Since the is also in one case, not two separate ones, you multiply the two fractions so (5/16)*(4/15).
