Answer:

6/9 or 1/3

Explanation:

There is a total of 9 marbles of both colors in the bag.
(3 red marbles + 6 blue marble = 9 marbles)

This means the denominator of your probability will be 9. There are 6 blue marbles in the bag so, in conclusion, the probability that you will take a blue marble out of the bag is 6/9. Also, 6/9 when simplified, is 1/3.
