Answer 1

Answer:

5/33

Step-by-step explanation:

five apples and seven peaches = 12 total

P( apple) = number of apples / total

               = 5/12

No replacement since you ate it

four apples and seven peaches = 11 total

P( peach) = number of peach / total

               = 4/11

P(apple, no replacement, peach) = 5/12 * 4/11 = 5/33
