if a randomly selected positive single digit multiple of 3 is multiplied by a randomly selected prime number less than 20. what is the probability that this product will be a multiple of 45

[spoiler]i don't think this real GMAT q.

there can be 4 single digit multiples of 3 ==> 0,3,6,9
and there are 8 primes numbers less than 20 ==> 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19
counting two sets will give 4*8 or 32 combination sets
8 by 0
1 by 9 ==> 9 good selections
9/32 is my answer if we count for 0 as a multiple of 3 as well
if we don't count 0 as a multiple of 3, as 0 is the multiple of all numbers then
we have 3 single digit multiples of 3 and 8 primes
this should give us counting of 24 possibilities with 1 good selection
and i would answer then 1/24
