A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, 6 purple marbles, and 7 green marbles. A marble is chosen at random from the bag. What is the probability of choosing a green or blue marble from the bag?

you would probably have a higher chance of getting the green because there are more of them?

Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

Total marbles: 8+3+6+7 = 24

Green or blue marbles: 7+8=15

15/24=0.625
