Where did you get the 9? Which is 3/9

Step 1: The 9 comes from the total number of possible outcomes when you pick one number from set A and one number from set B.

Set A has 3 numbers: {2,4,6}\{2, 4, 6\}.
Set B has 3 numbers: {1,3,5}\{1, 3, 5\}.

When you pick one number from A and one from B, you form a pair. To find the total number of unique pairs you can form, you multiply the number of elements in set A by the number of elements in set B.

Total possible pairs = (number of elements in A) ×\times (number of elements in B)

n(S)=3×3=9n(S) = 3 \times 3 = 9

These 9 possible pairs are:
(2,1),(2,3),(2,5)(2,1), (2,3), (2,5)
(4,1),(4,3),(4,5)(4,1), (4,3), (4,5)
(6,1),(6,3),(6,5)(6,1), (6,3), (6,5)

The 3 in the numerator of 39\frac{3}{9} represents the number of these pairs whose sum is at least 8.
