Answer:

11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = # of favored outcomes / total # of possible outcomes.

Favored outcomes: picking a red or yellow marble.

There are 8 yellow marbles and 3 red marbles. 8 + 3 = 11 so there are 11 favored outcomes.

There are 8 yellow marbles, 3 red marbles and 6 orange marbles. 8 + 3 + 6 = 17 so there are 17 possible outcomes.

The probability of pulling a red or yellow marble would be 11/17 because there are a total of 17 marbles in which 11 of those are red or yellow
