Sure! Let me help you on this one, Adrien.

There are 18 marbles in the bag, 3 of them being blue. Let's put this in a ratio.

3 out of 18.

Simplify.

1 out of 6.

This means that statistically speaking, if you pull out 6 marbles, one of them will be blue.


P.S. If this answer helped you, please, make sure to say "Thanks" just below my answer. It will help me a lot.
