If Victor chooses these work clothes at random, what is the probability that he will choose tan pants, a white shirt, and a red tie?


4/9

3/7

1/12

1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12 I think is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. it's 50% chance that he will choose a tan shirt

2. it's 33.3% that he will choose a white shirt

3. it's 50% that he will choose a red tie.

4. .50 x .333 x .50 = .083  1/12 = .083

therefore it's a 1/12 chance that he will pick this combination.
