Answer:

C. 3/14

Explanation:

Note that in a proper fraction, (part/whole) is the rule you will typically follow.

You are trying to draw 1 blue marble from a bag of:

4 red marbles

6 green marbles

1 white marble

3 blue marbles.

Note that there are 14 marbles in all, in which 3 are blue:

3 blue marbles/14 marbles in all is your chance of obtaining a blue marble.

C. 3/14
