My Answer:

1/12 OR letter B.

My Explanation:

P(G) = 1/4....P(R) = (1/3)

(1/4)(1/3) = 1/12

I hope this makes sense! Glad to help anytime :)

(This is the correct answer on edge 2020/2021 btw)

Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

Initially there are 4 marbles, 1 of which is green.

After the green marble is removed, there are 3 marbles, 1 of which is red.

The probability is therefore 1/4 × 1/3 = 1/12.
