Answer:

5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

5 white

3 black

1 red

total number of pairs of socks: 5 + 3 + 1 = 9

On Monday there are 9 pairs. 3 pairs are black.

On Tuesday, one pair of black socks is already taken, so there are now 8 pairs of socks. 5 of those are white.

p(black on Mon. & white on Tue.) = 3/9 * 5/8 = 1/3 * 5/8 = 5/24
