Answer:

0.1042 or 10.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first bottle is returned to the cooler, there will be 12 possible choices for each pick.

There is a 5 in 12 chance of picking a lemon-lime drink first.

There is a 3 in 12 chance of picking a fruit-punch drink second.

The probability of both events happening is:

[tex]P=\frac{5}{12}* \frac{3}{12}\\P=0.1042=10.42\%[/tex]

The probability is 0.1042 or 10.42%.
