I am trying to brush up on some simple probability word problems with fractions, but I need a little help.?

Heather has some coins in her pockets. In her left pocket she has 3 dimes, 2 quarters and 1 half-dollar. In her right pocket she has 3 dimes, 5 quarters and 4 half-dollars. If Heather takes one coin out of each pocket, how likely is it that both will be a dimes?I am trying to brush up on some simple probability word problems with fractions, but I need a little help.?
3/6 * 3/12 = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
