Step-by-step explanation: the answer is3/12

it is 3/12 because if you add 5+4+3 you will get 12 so out of that 12 which are blue which is 3 so it would be three

if it is wrong sorry but if it right hope its was correct :)

Answer:

9/12 or 3/4 (it's the same)

Explanation:

You have to guve the probabiloty of picking a candy that is not blue, so you have to do:

5 red + 4 green = 9

total = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

9/12 is equal to 3/4
