A teacher asks each student in the class to randomly choose a number from 1 to 60 and write it down. Gloria and Bill each write down a number. What is the probability that both of their choices will be greater that 55?

The choices greater than 55 are 56, 57, 58, 59 & 60, 5 of them.
5/60 = 1/12
---------
(1/12)*(1/12) = 1/144
