Question

There are 5 red marbles, 4 blue marble, 2 green marbles, and 1 yellow marble in the bag. What is the probability of pulling out each of the following?

Answer 1

Red : 5/12

Blue : 1/3

Green: 1/6

Yellow : 1/12

Explanation:

5 red marbles + 4 blue marbles + 2 green marbles + 1 yellow marble = 12 total marbles

5 red marbles / 12 total marbles = 5/12

4 blue marbles / 12 total marbles = 4/12 = 1/3

2 green marbles / 12 total marbles = 2/12 = 1/6

1 yellow marbles / 12 total marbles = 1/12
