Question

Ali's mom filled the cookie jar with 7 chocolate chip cookies, 6 peanut butter cookies, and 2 raisin cookies. She filled the candy jar with 14 peppermints and 12 caramels. If Ali randomly pulls one cookie and one candy from each jar, what is the probability that she pulls a raisin cookie and a peppermint?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability: 131/195

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cookies:

7 + 6 + 2  = 15

Total candies:

14 + 12 = 26

Probability of raisin:

2/15

Probability of peppermint:

14/26 = 7/13

Probability of both:

2/15 + 7/13

131/195
