A bag contains 8 black marbles, 16 white marbles, 14 red marbles, and 10 green marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the bag

What is the probability that the marble drawn will not be white?

45% chance that white will not be drawn or 3/8 it wont be drawn

In total, there are 48 marbles in the bag. If 16 of those are white, that means 1/3 or 33% of the marbles are white.

There is a 2/3 or 66% chance that the marble drawn will not be white.
