For the first letter drawn, there are no conditions/restrictions we need to consider. So, the number of ways to draw an i is:
\text{Draw(i): } \frac{4}{11}

For the second draw, the i is not replaced. That means, we've shrunk the sample space because we're dealing with less elements for the second draw. Firstly, one i disappears since we picked an "i" and there are 10 elements left, not 11.

Thus, to draw the second i, we have:
\text{Draw(ii): } \frac{3}{10}

\text{P(drawing 2 i's): } \frac{4}{11} \cdot \frac{3}{10} = \frac{12}{110} = \frac{6}{55}

there are 48 students in a school play. the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7. how many more girls than boys are in the school play?
Alex Ar [27]
We can use trial or error method here...

If we take 4 table, 4*5 = 20 and 4*7 = 28. 20+28 = 48.
20 : 28 = 5 : 7

So, there are 20 boys and 28 girls in a school play and there are 8 girls more than boys.

If you look over tables and try it out, only 4 table works for the given ratio.
