There are 6 white socks, 4 black socks, and 2 yellow socks in a drawer. carl wants to wear his yellow socks to school. what is the probability that carl (without looking) picks one yellow sock, puts it on, and then picks another yellow sock? fraction must be simplified!

First add up the total number of chances.
Which is 12. This is the denominator.

Next find out how many there are of the kind he wants.
He has a chance of getting the two yellow socks out of the 12 total.

So, now you have two out of twelve chances. To put this in fraction form put the total number of chances on top and the number of the thing they want on top.

2/12

Now simplify.
The biggest number that goes into both of them is two. Divide both by two. This will give you 1/6. I hope this helped

Set square i think so
