Answer 1

someone please help this is timed

Answer 2

Total outcomes = 11
favorable outcomes = 5
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Probability that Jonas will get an orange = 5/11

Total outcomes = 10 (because 1 fruit is already taken by Jonas)
favorable outcomes = 4
Probability Beth will get an apple = 4/10 = 2/5
multiply both
probability that Jonas will get an orange and Beth will get an apple = 5/11 * 2/5
= 2/11
