You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 5 quarters, 3 dimes, and 2 nickels in my pocket. If I choose one coin at random, and then another without replacing the first, what is the probability I choose a quarter and then a dime?
---------------
For the Q, it's 5/10 = 1/2
For the dime, it's 3/9 = 1/3
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
