Step 1
1. Add all the socks in the drawer to get a denominator
2. 12 blue socks can be picked out of the 36 total socks, so 1236
3. Then you take away one sock from the top and bottom, so you now have 1135
4. Multiply the two numerators (12 and 11), then multiply the denominators (36 and 35), then divide the numerator by the denominator, 1321260, to get your answer.
