Answer:


(1)/(10)

Explanation:

Red


(2)/(5)

blue


(1)/(8)

green


(3)/(8)

first, make denominators same.

*The common LCM we choose is 40*

RED


(2)/(5) * 8 = (16)/(40)

BLUE


(1)/(8) * 5 = (5)/(40)

GREEN


(3)/(8) * 5 = (15)/(40)

Yellow marble:-

RED+GREEN+BLUE =


(16)/(40) + (5)/(40) + (15)/(40) = (36)/(40)

Yellow marble = total marbles-sum of other marble colours

*note that the total no. marbles are 40*


(40)/(40) - (36)/(40) = (4)/(40)

*you can leave it in this form or you can simplify it*


(4)/(40) or (1)/(10)

1/10 you find a common denominator and add them together which is 36 and simplify it down
