Answer:

3/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of the first box to have the secret decoder ring is 18 out of 52:

  • 18/52= 9/26

Probability of the second box to have the ring is 17 out of 51, because one box with the ring already selected and not counted:

  • 17/51= 1/3

Probability that both of them have the secret decoder ring:

  • 9/26*1/3= 3/26

<u>So the answer is</u> 3/26

Answer:

<h2>11/19</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{5}{4} + (-\frac{1}{3})) \div (\frac{5}{4} - (-\frac{1}{3}))\\\\\frac{\frac{5}{4}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)}{\frac{5}{4}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)}\\\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a,\:-\left(-a\right)=a\\=\frac{\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{3}}\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{3}:\quad \frac{19}{12}\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{3}:\quad \frac{11}{12}\\\\=\frac{\frac{11}{12}}{\frac{19}{12}}\\\\=\frac{11\times\:12}{12\times \:19}

= 11/19
