Carol has 5 scarves and 5 sweaters, and each scarf matches a different sweater. if she chooses one of these scarves and one of these sweaters at random, what is the probability that they will NOT match?

The answer is 4/5 or 0.8, but I don't know how to figure out!
Please help me out! Thank you so much:wink:

Well, let's start with the answer that you got, and the reasoning you used to get there. Then we can work from there, to help you find where things went sideways.

Please be complete. Thank you! ;)
