Answer:
Answer as a fraction: 4/15
Answer as a decimal: 0.267
The decimal version is approximate rounded to three decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 apples, 4 peaches
6+4 = 10 pieces of fruit total
The probability of picking an apple is 6/10 = 3/5
After you pick and eat the apple, there are 10-1 = 9 pieces of fruit left. Also, the probability of picking a peach is 4/9, as there are 4 peaches out of 9 fruit left over.
Multiply out 3/5 and 4/9 to get (3/5)*(4/9) = (3*4)/(5*9) = 12/45 = 4/15
Using a calculator, 4/15 = 0.267 approximately.
