Question

A jar contains nine blue marbles, eight yellow marbles, 11 black marbles, and 12 red marbles.

Without looking, what is the probability of pulling a white marble from the jar?

1
0
3/10
9/40

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 0, because there is 0 white marbles in the jar to begin with.

Answer 2

0%

Explanation:

The first thing you need to do, is add the total of all of the marbles together.

9 + 8 + 11 + 12 = 40.

Knowing this, you can take the amount of white marbles, (0) and put this against the 40 total marbles.

Since there are 0 white marbles in the jar, you know that it is impossible to pull one out of the jar.
