13/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of leather belts = 4

Number of plastic belts = 3

Number of canvas belts = 10

Number of rubber belts = 6

Number of denim belt = 1

Total belts = 24

The probability of choosing a plastic belt and then a canvas belt will be:

= P(plastic) + P(canvas)

= 3/24 + 10/24

= 13/24

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
