6 blue pencils and 3 red pencils means 9 total pencils. So the probability of pulling out ONE blue pencil would be 6/9 or about 67 percent. TWO blue pencils would be HALF of that. So 6/9 * 1/2 which is 6/18 or 1/3 or about 33 percent.

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Lilly has read 7/8 of her book (aka 147 pages), divide 147 by 7 and you get 21.
This means 1/8=21
Since she has read 7/8 of the book, and the full book is 8/8, 8/8-7/8= 1/8
Meaning she has 1/8 of the book left to read.
As said before, 1/8 =21
Thus, she has 21 pages left to read.
Divide the denominator by the numerator
