[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of picking a 5 on the first card is 1/7.

Since we do not replace the first card, there are now only 6 cards left. The probability of picking a number greater than 8 on the second card is 0/6, since there are no numbers greater than 8 left.

Therefore, the overall probability of picking a 5 and then picking a number greater than 8 is 0.
