This is the exact same question as your last one...just different numbers

anonymous · Answer

use 3, 5, and 6 in place of 6, 8, and 4

anonymous · Answer

do i still use the 18?

anonymous · Answer

no...for this one, the total number of objects is 3+5+6...what does that equal?

anonymous · Answer

so it will be 3/14, 5/14, 6/14?

anonymous · Answer

multiplied together, yes

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

i got the right answer thanks

anonymous · Answer

Looks right...not sure if you are supposed to give a decimal answer or a fraction.

for a fraction it would be (3*5*6)/(14*14*14) = 90/2744
