Question

check answer - fan and medal! Terry is going to purchase one item each from two quarter machines. The first quarter machine contains bracelets that are 6 different colors, including her favorite color, purple. 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 purple bracelet and an eraser by putting a quarter in each machine?
1/6 * 2/11 = 2/66 which reduces to 1/33

1/33 <<<< my guess because 2/66 reduces to this
1/66
1/22
2/33

Answer 3

I was busy before, sorry I didn't come
I think you did it right, I'm not sure though because I wouldn't know how to do this
But if you got the answer which comes out to one of the exact answer choices, theres a chance that it is really correct
At least you do know the second machine has 0/15 chance of getting it and the first machine has 1/6 chance
Unless i'm not understanding your qestion...
Sorry, I don't know this question cx
