A bag held 2 orange marbles, 3 black marbles, and 5 pink marbles. I drew a pink marble and did not replace it. What is the probability of drawing a pink marble next?

A. 2/5
B. 4/9
C. 1/2
D. 5/9
4/9 is the answer. In the bag there are 10 marbles in total. If I draw a pink marble, there are now 9 marbles and 4 of them are pink, so the answer is 4/9, or B.
