Solution

The total number of drinks in the cooler is 6 (orange) + 3 (lemon-lime) + 4 (fruit punch) = 13 drinks.

When Coach Lefty puts back the orange drink, the total number of drinks remains the same, which is 13.

The number of orange drinks is 6.

So, the probability that he'll grab another orange is the number of orange drinks divided by the total number of drinks.

Therefore, the probability is 6/13.
