Question

Random question for points, Meg has a jar of marbles, 10 are white, 1/4 of them are red, 1/2 are blue the rest are green the total number is 25. how many are green, what’s the total, and how likely is it pull a marble that isn’t a primary color?

Answer 1

10 from 25 would be 15 and then half is 7.5 round it is 8 and then quarter of that is 2 so 15+8+2=25 so no green marbles

Answer 2

Explanation:

If 10 marbles are white, then there are 15 marbles that are not white.

If 1/4 of the marbles are red, then there are 25 x 1/4 = 6.25, which we can round up to 7 red marbles.

If 1/2 of the marbles are blue, then there are 25 x 1/2 = 12.5, which we can round down to 12 blue marbles.

The remaining marbles must be green: 25 - 10 - 7 - 12 = 25 - 29 = -4. This doesn't make sense,
