Answer:

75%

Explanation:

We know

A box contains 5 red balls, 3 blue balls, and 4 green balls.

If one ball is drawn at random, what is the probability that it is not blue?

We first find how many balls are not blue

5 + 4 = 9 balls are not blue in the total of 12 balls

Then the probability is


(9)/(12) = 75%

So, the probability is 75%
