The table shows how many cans of each paint color are on each color shelf in a paint warehouse. One can is selected at random from the Whites shelf, another is selected at random from the Blues shelf, and then another is selected at random from the Greens shelf. What is P(pure white followed by baby blue followed by emerald) expressed as a fraction?
