Chicken : Hamburger : Fish
Ball : Parachute : Frisbee
2 chicken, 1 fish ; 1 fish, 1hamburger.
Your probability is
2 : 1 : 1
your probability of getting a ball is 2 out of 4 items,
so it is 1/2

2/3 (number of chicken and fish meals over total) x1/2 (number of balls over total. It actually is 2/4 but is reduce.) =2/6 1/3
What you need to do is find the probability of each event by putting the favorable outcome over the total outcomes and multiply them together.
The answer is 1/3.
