There are two boxes. The first box contains 6 gold and 6 silver coins. The second box contains 9 gold and 6 silver coins. A coin is randomly selected from the first box, and then it is dropped into the second bax. Then a coin is rantiomly selected from the second bax. Given that the coin from the second box is gold, what is the probability that the coin from the first bax is also gold? Caution: You have to write your answer as a decimal number rounded to at least two digits after the decimal point. For example, if your answers 0.34495621 you can enter 0.34. Do NOT use a comma, 0,34 is not acceptable.
