There are 5 red marbles, 15 blue marbles, and 5 green marbles in a bag. You reach in and randomly draw a marble, replace it, and draw another marble. What is the probability that one will be red and one will be blue?

Answer:

Blue: 3/5

Red: 1/5

if the question is asking for the probability of if one marble you will pick out of bag is red OR blue, it will be 4/5

Explanation:

add all the marbles together. 25 marbles.

so if there are 15 blue marbles, then there would be a 15 out of 25 chance you will get a blue marble. simplified is 3/5. same goes for the red marbles.
