Step-by-step explanation:

26 cards

5 vowels, 21 consonants

P (consonant) = consonant / total = 21/26

Return the card

26 cards

5 vowels, 21 consonants

P (vowel) = vowel/total = 5/26

Return the card

26 cards

5 vowels, 21 consonants

P (consonant) = consonant / total = 21/26

P (consonant, return, vowel, return, consonant) = 21/26 * 5/26 * 21/26
