A = probability the first selection is a milk chocolate
A = (number of milk chocolates)/(number total)
A = (10)/(10+8+6)
A = 10/24
A = 5/12

B = probability the second selection is a white chocolate, given event A has happened
B = (number of white chocolates)/(number of chocolates left)
B = (6)/(24-1)
B = 6/23

A*B = probability of both events A and B occurring
A*B = (5/12)*(6/23)
A*B = (5*6)/(12*23)
A*B = (5*6)/(6*2*23)
A*B = (5)/(2*23)
A*B = 5/46

Answer: 5/46
