Question

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the marble drawn will not be blue? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

7/9

Explanation:

8 blue + 6 green + 12 yellow + 10 orange = total of 36 marbles

blue = 8

not blue = 36 - 8 = 28

p(not blue) = 28/36 = 7/9

Answer: 7/9
