Question

There are 4 green marbles and 7 silver marbles in a bag. You randomly choose one of the marbles. What is the probability of choosing a green marble?

7/11
4/11
4/7
7/4

Answer 1

4/11

Explanation:

there are 4 green out of 11 total

Answer 2

B.

Explanation:

First, you will need to find out how many marbles there are total, which is 11. After doing so, you are able to eliminate two of your answer choices already (C. and D.). Next, identify how many green marbles are in there, which is 4. You are able to identify that A. can be eliminated as well. With you finding probability, the total amount will be on the bottom. So, you can see that there is a 4/11 or about 36% chance that a green marble will be picked.

Hope this helps! :)
