[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of picking a 7 first is 1 out of 4 (since there is only 1 card with a 7 out of 4 total cards).

After picking the 7, there are now only 3 cards left, and only 1 of them is a 6. Therefore, the probability of picking a 6 second is 1 out of 3.

To find the overall probability, we multiply the probabilities together:
1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12

So, the probability of picking a 7 and then picking a 6 is 1/12.
