Here is you're answer:

In order to solve this equation you need to convert 1/3 into a decimal and then compare to see which decimal is greater.

$\frac{1}{3}$
Convert into a decimal:
$3 \div 1 = .333...$
Now compare:
$.3 < .333...$

Therefore you're answer is "1/3 is greater."

Hope this helps!

You first change 1/3 which is .333 then you compare .333 with .3 which the answer is .333

A bag contains 42 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 gray marbles. You randomly pick out a marble, record its color, and put it

Elanso [62]

For any single draw,

$\mathbb P(\text{white})=\dfrac6{42+6+8}=\dfrac6{56}$
$\mathbb P(\text{gray})=\dfrac8{42+6+8}=\dfrac8{56}$

Drawing a white marble or a gray marble are disjoint events; only one of them can happen. So

$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\mathbb P(\text{white})+\mathbb P(\text{gray})-\underbrace{\mathbb P(\text{white and gray})}_0$
$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\dfrac6{56}+\dfrac8{56}=\dfrac{14}{56}$

Out of 224 draws, you should expect $\dfrac{14}{56}\times224=56$ of the marbles to be either white or gray.
