Math Help - [SOLVED] Probability

Of 5 employees, 3 are to be assigned an office and 2 are to be assigned a cubicle. If 3 of the employees are men and 2 are women, and if those assigned an office are to be chosen at random, what is the probability that the offices will be assigned to 2 of the men and 1 of the women?

3. 
4. 
5. 

I did it like this: x = which is obviously wrong since its not on. Can someone please explain the steps? Thanks in advance
