Can you tell me how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just added up all the numbers to get a denominater of 51 and added 12 and 21

OpenStudy (welshfella):

theres a total of 51 activiities and there are 12 mazes so the probability of selecting first a maze is 12/51

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that leaves 50 pages there are 21 crossword puzzle pages so probability choosing a crossword on the second pick is 21 / 50

OpenStudy (welshfella):

snice these 2 events are independent the prob of maze/crossword i s 12/51 * 21/50
