Answer: 8/15

Step-by-step explanation: take all the color of marbles and add them together. There is where you get your denominator of 25. Next, since you are finding for yellow marbles, take the number of yellow marbles (8) and that will be your numerator.

Add all them up. 5+8+2 = 15

How many yellows? 8/15 = 0.533 ~~ 53%
