Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: 8/20 or a simplified answer is 2/5

You know that there is 20 marbles in the bag. But you need a blue one so you are wanting one of the 8 blue ones that are in the bag. So you have 8/20 chance of getting a blue marble. If you need a percentage then do 8 divided by 20.
