Multiply the two desired probabilities to find the answer.

5/12 is the probability for the plain pencil since there are 5 pencils out of 12 total items.

1/2 is the probability for the colored pencil since there are 3 colored pencils out of 6 total items. 3/6 simplifies to 1/2.

5/12*1/2= 5/24

Final answer: 5/24
