Meg is giving balloons to some children at a carnival. She has 6 red balloons, 3 blue balloons, and 5 yellow balloons. If Meg selects a balloon randomly without looking, what is the probability that she will give a red balloon to the first child and then a yellow balloon to the second child? 6 over 14 plus 5 over 13 equal to 148 over 182 6 over 14 multiplied by 5 over 13 equal to 30 over 182 6 over 14 multiplied by 5 over 14 equal to 30 over 196 6 over 14 plus 5 over 14 equal to 11 over 14

Mehek (mehek14):

how many red?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

Mehek (mehek14):

total number of balloons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

Mehek (mehek14):

so \(\dfrac{6}{14}\) of giving red to the first child

Mehek (mehek14):

how many yellow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 @Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

and if you already gave one balloon to the first child, the total is 1 less so 13

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\dfrac{5}{13}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer would be B?

Mehek (mehek14):

yes
