Answer:

The bag contains 24 marbles total. If there are 14 green marbles, you have a 14 in 23 chance of selecting a green marble. This is because you avoid counting the marble you just picked while counting the total interpreted as a denominator.

14/23

Because the numerator and denominator do not share any GCFs, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
