1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Chevy Malibu hybrid = 6.8

Ford mustang = 9.6

Nissan Pathfinder = 10.8

Toyota Corolla = 6.3

1. Chevy Malibu hybrid to Toyota Corolla = 6.8 to 6.3

= 6.8 : 6.3

= 6.8 / 6.3

2. Nissan Pathfinder to Ford mustang = 10.8 to 9.6

= 10.8 : 9.6

= 10.8 / 9.6

= 2.7 / 2.4

3. Toyota Corolla to Nissan Pathfinder = 6.3 to 10.8

= 6.3 : 10.8

= 6.3 / 10.8

4. Ford mustang to Chevy Malibu hybrid = 9.6 to 6.8

= 9.6 : 6.8

= 9.6 / 6.8

= 2.4 / 1.7
