Question

A bag with 6 marbles has 1 yellow marble 2 blue marbles and 3 red marbles. A marble is chosen from the bag at random what is the probability that it is yellow ? write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

A fraction/probability is created by taking what we want and putting that over the total.

In this case, we want yellow out of the total number of marbles.

Yellow Marbles = 1

Total Marbles = 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 12

Probability/Fraction = 1 / 12

Hope this helps!
