Answer 1

62.22%

Explanation:

First, find how many total marbles there are:

12 + 11 + 17 + 5

= 45

Then, find how many marbles that are not blue:

12 + 11 + 5

= 28

Then, divide 28 by 45, and multiply by 100

(28/45) x 100

= 62.22% is the probability of not choosing a blue marble

Answer 2

Y/T = 28/45 = 62%
Y=yes
T=total
