Question

One bag contains 2 green marbles and 4 white marbles, and a second bag contains 3 green marbles and 1

white marble. If Trent randomly draws one marble from each bag, what is the probability that they are both
green?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

the first bag has 2 green marbles out of 6 total marbles, so the probability of getting a green marble out of the first bag is 2/6, or 1/3.

the 2nd bag has 3 green marbles out of 4 total marbles, so the probability of getting a green marble is 3/4

then multiply those together

1/3 × 3/4 = 3/12, which is 1/4

So that's the probability
