You have a bag of 12 marbles, Six of the marbles are blue, two are green, three are yellow, and one is red. If you reach into the bag and grab one marble, what is the probability that it will be green ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 marbles

6 blue

2 green

3 yellow

1 red

[tex]\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

There are 2 marbles out of 12 that are green; therefore there is a [tex]\frac{2}{12}[/tex] probability of getting a green one. Simplify the fraction to [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
