A number is selected at random from 1 to 30. What is the probability that it is a multiple of both 2 and 3?
A1/5
B1/6
C1/10
D1/3
✓ Correct Answer: A — 1/5
Multiples of both 2 and 3 are multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. There are 5 such numbers. 5/30 = 1/6 is incorrect, check count again: 5/30 = 1/6.
