Add all the beads together and put it over the number of blue beads.
so since there are 150 beads, the denominator is 150. and the amount of blue beads is 50 so that's the numerator.
50/150 now simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by 50 that equals
1/3
so the probability of getting a blue bead is 1/3

Because they are equal (50 red, 50 blue, 50 green) so the probability for blue ones is 1/3
