Terry is going to purchase one item each from two quarter machines. The first quarter machine contains bracelets that are 4 different colors, including her favorite color, red. There are equal amounts of each color. The second quarter machine contains 1 sticky hand, 1 pencil topper, 2 erasers, 3 plastic rings, and 4 bouncing balls.

What is the probability that Terry will get a red bracelet and a plastic ring by putting a quarter in each machine?
