Question 389473: Please help me solve this question.

At the end of a meal in a restaurant, a person
wants to have pie � la mode (pie topped with ice cream) for dessert. There are 5 flavors of ice
cream�chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, peach, and coffee�and there are 2 kinds of pie�apple and cherry. If the waiter picks the pie and ice cream at
random, what is the probability that the person will get apple pie with vanilla ice cream (state your answer as a fraction)?

There are 5 flavors of ice cream. so the probability that the waiter will choose vanilla is 1/5.
There are 2 flavors of pie, so the probability that the waiter will choose apple is 1/2.
Since both must happen, we multiply those probabilities together:
(1/5)*(1/2) = 1/10
