Question

Can you solve this problem and explain how to?
(C is 1/7)

Answer 1

C.
`(1)/(7)`

Explanation:

5 + 6 + 4 = 15

`(6)/(15)` for a yellow marble

Removing a yellow marble:

15 - 1 = 14

6 - 1 = 5

`(5)/(14)` to get a blue marble

6/15 × 5/14 = 2/15

C.
`(1)/(7)`

Answer 2

1/7

Explanation:

15 total marbles, yellow is 6/15 and blue is 5/14 (since you removed it and didnt replace the yellow)

(6 x 5) / (15x14)

30/210

divide by 30

1/7
