Answer 2

1/36?

Answer 3

Total outcomes = 36
Favorable outcomes = 15
probability you will choose a consonant = Total outcomes/Favorable outcomes = 15/36
= 5/12

Total outcomes = 36
Favorable outcomes = 21
probability you will choose a vowel = 21/36 = 7/12

Probability you will choose a consonant and then a vowel = 5/12 * 7/12 = 35/144
