Question

Tara has two bags of marbles. The first bag contains 6 red marbles, 5 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. The second bag contains 3 red marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. Tara will randomly select 1 marble from each bag.

What is the probability that Tara will select a blue marble from each bag?

Answer 1

The first bag, 1 in 3 and the second, 2 in 9.

Explanation:

If there are 15 total marbles in the first bag, and 5 blue, there is a 5 in 15 chance, or 1 out of 3 chance she could pull a blue out of the first bag. The second bag, has 9 in total and 2 blue, so there is a 2 in 9 chance she could pull out a blue from the second bag. Hope this helps!
