Answer:

6/18 or 1/3 if simplified

Explanation:

In order to find this, all you have to do is add up all the numbers and then write it as a fraction.

So since 4+6+8= 18 and there are only six brown balls, the probability would be written as 6 (number of brown balls) over 18 (total number of balls)
