Question 1083296: Aileen randomly selects an integer between 1-6, inclusive. Norman randomly selects an integer between 1-9, inclusive. What is the probability that they select the same number?
Unfortunately, no method I have ever learned for solving probability has worked on this question. I know that the answer is 0.11, but I do not know how to get to that. Thank you for your help!

Probability she chooses one of the 6 numbers from 1 - 6, inclusive: 1%2F6
Probability Norman chooses a number from 1 - 6, inclusive, from any of the 9 numbers from 1 - 9: 6%2F9
Probability the number will be the same: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C5%2C+1%2F6%2C+%22%2A%22%2C+6%2F9%2C+%22=%22%2C+.1111111%29%29
