Environmentalists have accused a large company in the eastern United States of dumping nuclear waste material into a local river. The probability that either the fish in the river or the animals that drink from the river will die is 11/21. The probability that only the fish will die is 1/3, and the probability that only animals die is 2/7, find the probability that both the fish and the animals that drink from the river will die?
