As you have 6 red and 4 green, you must add them up to make 10. The probability is out of ten.

Probability of red = 6/10 = 3/5 as there are 6 red marbles
Probability of green= 4/10= 2/5

In order to get the probability of getting both marbels from a container, you must multiply both probabilites.

6/10x 4x10 = 24/100 = 12/50 = 6/25


Or 2/5 x 3/5 makes 6/25

Hope i helped :)
