Guests at a dinner event can choose 1 of 6 appetizers, 1 of 2 main dishes, and 1 of 5 desserts. Jay and Kim are seated next to each other, and learning they ordered the same dinner combination, decide it must be fate that they should be best friends. What was the probability that Jay and Kim would have chosen the same dinner combination if both chose randomly?
