Question 253531: A box of 6 coins (penny, nickel, dime or quarter) worth $0.67 is shaken. What is the probability that a nickel is drawn first and then a quarter? Assume no replacement and that all coins are equally likely

There are only 6 coins
2 are pennies=02
2 are quarters=50
10=10
5=5
There are 2 quarters one nickel
one nickel is 1/6
one quarter is 2/5
1/6*2/5=2/30=1/15=about 6.7%
but the instructions say that all coins are equally likely. It is not correct but those are the instructions.
so 1/6*1/6=1/36=2.7%
