Answer 1

Answer:

7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

3 vowels (A,E,I)

7 consonants

3/10 × 7/9

7/30

Answer 2

Answer:

21/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Letters:  ABCDEFGHIJ  10 letters

Vowels: AEI  3

P (vowel)= vowels/ total = 3/10

No replacement  ( assume the letter taken was a

Letters:  BCDEFGHIJ  9 letters

Consonants : BCDFGHJ  7 letters

P(constant) = 7/10

P(vowel, no replacement, consonant) =P (vowel)*P(constant)

                                                               =3/10*7/10

                                                               =21/100
