A box contains 3 cherry frozen treats and 2 grape frozen treats. Maggie takes a treat from the box without looking, gives it to her brother, and then selects another treat. What is the probability that her brother gets a grape treat and she gets a cherry treat?

There are 5 treats in all so 5 is your denominator.
2 are grape so two is the numerator.

Then there are 4 frozen treats left so 4 is the second denominator.
3 are cherry so 3 is numerator.

Then multiply the fractions.
(2/5)*(3/4) = (3/10)
