Q: An urn contains 5 red, 2 blue, and 9 green balls. Six balls are drawn. Assuming the drawing is WITH replacement, what is the probability of getting 1 red, 2 blue, and 3 green balls?
This is an exam question I got wrong. My answer was:
$frac5 choose 12 choose 29 choose 316 choose 6 $
I checked other questions, such as this one, and they approached it the same way. What am I missing?

Hint: the question you linked is looking at drawing balls without replacement. The way to approach the problem changes if you put each ball back into the urn after you draw it (i.e. with replacement), and the formula you used isn't correct for this situation.

Since there is replacement there is no conditional probability, this means that the answer is simply:
$$frac6!3!2!1!p( colorredbullet cap colorbluebullet cap colorblue bullet capcolorgreenbullet capcolorgreenbulletcapcolorgreenbullet)=frac6!3!2!1!p(colorredbullet)p^2(colorbluebullet )p^3(colorgreenbullet colorgreen)=60left(frac516right)left(frac216right)^2 left(frac916right)^3=frac546751048576approx 5.21 % $$
Where the factor $frac6!3!2!1!$ indicates the number of permutations of the sequence of drawings.
