Question

There is a bag full of red, yellow, and green marbles. There are 3 red, 2 yellow, and 7 green. What is the probability of getting a yellow? (fraction and percentage pls)

Answer 1

1/6 and 16.67

Explanation:

Add all the marbles, you get 12.

There's 2 out of 12 yellow marbles so you get 2/12

2/12 simplified to 1/6

So 1/6 is the probability as a fraction

Now to get the percentage just divide 100 by 6.

100/6 equals 16.67

Since it's 1/6 we multiply that by one

16.67 times 1 equals 16.67
