Total marbles = 10+4 = 14
prob of green marble = 10/14 = .71
Then if you are getting 2 green marbles you have to first take out 1 green marble so now there are 9 green marbles and 13 total green marbles
prob of 2nd green marble = 9/13 = .69

So you would then multiply the probabilities of the individual events to get the total probability:
.71 * .69 = .4899 therefore(with rounding):

The probability of getting two green marbles is 49%
