    4/18

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You have 5 WHITE marbles and 5 Black marbles.

    The probability of drawing a WHITE marble is 5/10 or 1/2

    And the probability of drawing the second (marble another WHITE marble) is 4/9

    So 1/2 x 4/9 = 4/18 or 5/10 x 4/9 = 20/90 / 5 = 4/18

    Therefore the probability of drawing a WHITE marble not replacing it then drawing another WHITE marble is 4/18
