    Reduced sodium peanuts: 7

    normal peanuts: 5

    reduced sodium granola bars: 3

    normal granola bars: 5

    probability of getting a reduced sodium peanut bag: 7/12

    probability of getting a reduced sodium granola bar: 3/8

    multiply the probabilities because they're separate events:

    7/12 * 3/8=

    (7*3) / (12*8) =

    21/96=

    7/32
