    0.1667 = 16.67%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ham is inside the group of meat, which has 3 different options of meat. So, the probability of choosing ham is 1 over 3 (that is, 1/3)

    Swiss is inside the group of cheese, which has 2 different options of meat. So, the probability of choosing ham is 1 over 2 (that is, 1/2)

    The probability of choosing ham and swiss at random will be the product of these probabilities above, so:

    Probability = (1/3) * (1/2) = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%
