Answer 1

Answer:

10/39

Step-by-step explanation:

The chances of picking a black sock on first try are 8/13, and the chances of picking out a yellow sock without replacing the black sock are 5/12. If you multiply 8/13 and 5/12, you get 40/156, and if you simplify, you will get 10/39 as your answer.
