A. 6⁄7

B. 24⁄31

C. 4⁄7

D. 1⁄6

E. 1⁄7

Answer 1

Answer:6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

total 17 +7+4=28

what u want =17+7=24

all you have =28

24/28=12/14=6/7

so your answer is 6/7

Answer 2

Total amount of marbles:

17 + 7 + 4 = 17 + 11 = 28

Amount of marbles that are either orange or pink:

17 + 7 = 24

To find the probability that the marble is pink or orange, we divide the amount of orange and pink marbles by the total amount:

P = 24/28 = 6/7

So the answer is A. 6/7
