Solution

The total number of marbles


11+22+12=45\text{ marbles}

Probability is


Probability=\frac{Possible\text{ outcome}}{Total\text{ sample space}}

Probability of red


(22)/(45)

Probability of green


(11)/(45)

Finally

P(red or green)


\begin{gathered} =(22)/(45)+(11)/(45) \\ \\ =(33)/(45) \end{gathered}
