Answer:

4/18

Explanation:

It would be a 4/18 chance she would get another blue marble, because first you add all of the marbles together which is 5+6= 11 + 7 = 18, so there are 5 blue marbles, and we have a chance of pulling another blue one 5/18 but since we already took one out, there are only 4 blue marbles left, so it's a 4/18.
