Answer:

Show all colored beads on the bottom draw a line in the middle and in the top show all red and purple colored beads.

Explanation:

Well first we need to work out the number of beads total.

2 blue + 1 green + 3 purple + 6 red = 12

9 purple or red,

9/12

Simplified,

3/4

Show all colored beads on the bottom draw a line in the middle and in the top show all red and purple colored beads.

Explanation:

There are 12 beads. 2 are blue, 1 is green, 3 are purple, and the rest (6) are red.

So there are 9 beads that are purple or red.

The probability is therefore 9/12, which reduces to 3/4.
