    To find each probability you will state the probability of the first event happening and multiply it by the chance of the second event happening.

    P (2 Nickels) : 6/10 x 5/9 = 30/90 (1/3 chance)

    P (2 Dimes) : 4/10 x 3/9 = 12/90 (4/30 chance)

    P (1 nickel and 1 dime) : 6/10 x 4/9 = 24/90 (8/30 chance)
