Answer 2

C)1/3

Explanation:

So there are 18 marbles in all.So the denominator should we eighteen unless we can simplify it.There are 6 yellow marbles,so the numerator can be 6 unless simplified.In this case,the fraction is 6/18.We can simplify it.The GCF(greatest common denominator) is 6.That makes it 1/3.
