Answer:

0, 1/4, and 1/3 chances

Explanation:

First add all the marbles up.

10 + 6 + 8 = 24

There are no red marbles ever mentioned, so the probability of a marble being red is 0, no chance.

There are 6 green marbles, so that's a 6/24 chance, or 1/4.

There are 8 yellow marbles, so that's a 8/24 chance, or 1/3.

Hope this helps :)
