Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

First you add up all the marbles and then divide 100 into the sum of all of the marbles and then you times it by the black marbles to find the percent

100/(6+10)*10=%

Answer:10/16 (can simplify I think)

Step-by-step explanation: First you do 10+6 to find out the total of all the marbles which is 16. There are 10 blacks so you do 10/16 AS you wanna find out the probability of getting the black.
