Find the total number of marbles (this will be the denominator):

4 + 16 + 5 + 16 + 10 = 51

Probability of pulling out red marble:

4/51

Probability of pulling out a green marble:

10/51

Add these two probabilities together:

14/51 <== the answer

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
