Question

What is the probability of choosing a red marble from a bag that contains 8

green, 14 red, 16 blue, and 18 yellow marbles written as a percent?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

Green:
`(5)/(56)`

Red:
`(14)/(56)`

Blue:
`(16)/(56)`

Yellow:
`(18)/(56)`

`(14)/(56)` is the probability of choosing a red (but this is a fraction)

to change to a percentage just times by 100 to give you:

`(14)/(56)`×100% = 25%
