Question

One drawer in a dresser contains 7 blue socks and 7 white socks. a second drawer contains 5 blue socks and 1 white socks. one sock is chosen from each drawer. what is the probability that they match? express the answer in decimals.

Answer 1

It is 7/14 times 5/1 because blue is the only one that can match. You get 35/14 or 2 7/14 which is 2.5.
