Okay, firstly, the chances of getting a green skittle out of the total 51 skittles, is 21/51. Next, she doesn't return that possibly green skittle, so the total skittles left in the jar are 50 skittles. Then, the next chance of getting a yellow skittle is now 30/50. So to find the probably combined, you multiply the outcomes. 

Complete. Simple enough :)
