#3/14#

Explanation:

#"probability is calculated using"#

#"total favourable outcomes"/"total possible outcomes"#

#"a favourable outcome is a black checker of which there are 6"#

#"total possible outcomes "=2+6=8#

#rArrP("black")=6/8=3/4#

#"favourable outcome is now a red of which there are 2"#

#"total possible outcomes "=2color(red)(+5)=7#

#rArrP("red")=2/7#

#rArrP("black/red")=3/4xx2/7=6/28=3/14#
