A hardware store has one basket with 40 pairs of slip-joint pliers. 5 of the 40 pairs are 6-inch slip-joint pliers. A second basket contains 20 rubber mallets. 3 of the 20 rubber mallets are small rubber mallets. What is the probability of picking a pair of 6-inch slip-joint pliers and not drawing a small rubber mallet?

Enter your answer as a simplified fraction. Use / to write your fraction.

The probability is [a]

1/8;17/20;But I don't really understand take them out separately or at the same time, the secondary answer is 17/180

Step-by-step explanation:

P1=5/40=1/8,that means there is 5 different balls in forty balls you can take,the situation you take the ball is 40,but the situation you take the different one is five so  the possibility you take the different on is 5/40=1/8.
