Question

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at

random from the bag.
What is the probability that the marble drawn will not be blue?
A. 2/6
B.3/4
C.7/6
D.7/8

Answer 1

7/9

Explanation:

If the marble is not blue, the marble is either green, yellow or orange. That means we can add up 6, 12, and 10 to get 28. The total number of marbles in the bag is 36.

The probability that the marble will not be blue is 28/36. This can be simplified to 7/9

Hope this helps!
