In a word game, you choose a tile from a bag, replace it, and then choose another. If there are 21 vowels and 15 consonants, what is the probability you will choose a consonant and then a vowel? A.35/8 B. 35/4 C. 35/144 D. 1/36

OpenStudy (oaktree):

So, the total is 36.

OpenStudy (oaktree):

The chance of getting a consonant the first time is 21/36.

OpenStudy (oaktree):

The chance of getting a vowel the second time is 15/36.

OpenStudy (oaktree):

Multiply 'em and you have (21*15)/(36*36) = 35/144

OpenStudy (oaktree):

Got it?
