You and two friends visit a pizza shop. There are 15 toppings. 5 toppings are meat and the rest are vegetable. Each of you orders a different topping (no repeats) at random. What is the probability that your group orders only meat toppings?

Question

I thought there was only5 meat toppings and 10 veggie  so the pizza cannot have all meat toppings so I believe that this is a trick question

A seems like the most logical answer maybe ask @undeadknight26 I bet he can help or try asking @orion92898 or @wolfe8

The probability of choosing meat for the first person is 5/20. For the second person it will be 4/19 since one topping is crossed out. For the third person it's 3/18. You will need to find the combined probability by multiplication.

ok thanks

anonymous · Answer

it comes out to 114??? that doesn't make sense

wolfe8 · Answer

It cannot be a whole number. Can you do fraction multiplications?

anonymous · Answer

I got 2/91

anonymous · Answer

I think so?/ but can you help me with that

undeadknight26 · Answer

You multiply the numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.
