Answer:

i cant rlly see the question bc its cut out but i yhink its 8

Explanation:

total Amount of Marbles in the bag is:

5 + 3 = 8

So, since there are 5 Red marbles, the probability of drawing one is 5 / 8.

Now that you pulled that marble out, you have 7 marbles total left in the bag, 4 of those are read (5 originally, minus the one you took out.

So, the probability of the second round is 4/7.

To find the overall probability, you multiply those probabilities together:

4/7*5/8 = 20/56
