Hello!
You should multiply these probabilities (you computed them correctly). So the answer is
This comes from the formula of the conditional probability,
where is the event "A given B", which means event A after it is known that the event B has occurred.
In our problem, B is the event "the first card is red" and A is "the second card is blue". Then means "the first card is red AND the second card is blue",
means "the second card will be blue after it is known that the first card was red".
Obviously and
so
