oy is giving ice cream cones to some children at a carnival. She has 8 chocolate ice cream cones, 10 vanilla ice cream cones, and 6 strawberry ice cream cones. If Joy selects an ice cream cone randomly without looking, what is the probability that she will give a chocolate ice cream cone to the first child and then a vanilla ice cream cone to the second child? 8 over 24 plus 10 over 24 is equal to 18 over 24 8 over 24 plus 10 over 23 is equal to 424 over 552 8 over 24 multiplied by 10 over 23 is equal to 80 over 552 8 over 24 multiplied by 10 over 24 is equal to 80 over 576

You are the best

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add all the ice cream cones up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol thanks

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 24

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there will be 8 over 24 for the chocolate ice cream cones

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since one cone was taken out, the denominator for the next fraction probability would be 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and there are 10 vanilla ice cream cones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 10/23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8 over 24 * 10 over 23

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

So its not A and D

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

CCC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, it's C
