Question

A bag of marbles contains 4 yellow, 3 blue, 2 green, and 7 red. What is the probability that a blue marble is selected at random? Express your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

3/16

Explanation:

Take your total number of marbles (16)

Remember, 3 of those 16 marbles is blue...

so that means you're chance of picking a blue marble is 3/16 because blue makes up 3/16 of your total marble collection
