Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the probability of selecting a blue marble from a bag without looking.

Start with the ratio for the probability

of an event which is shown below.

P(event) <em>= number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes</em>

Since there are 3 blue marbles in a bag, the number of favorable outcomes is 3 and since there are 12 marbles in all and it's equally likely that we will choose any of the marbles, the total number of outcomes is 12 so we have 3/12.

Therefore, the probability of choosing a blue marble is 3/12.

However, notice that 3/12 can be reduced to 1/3.

So the final answer for the probability of choosing a blue marble is 1/3.

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST PLS HELP!!! The image below shows two dilated figures with lines AB and A’B’ drawn. If the larger fig

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Lines AB and A'B' are similar, line A'B' being three times the size of line AB. They would not be congruent since a dilation isn't a rigid transformation but they would be similar. Their lengths would also be expressed in the form of a ratio which would be 1:3 if you do AB to A'B' and 3:1 if you do A'B' to AB. Hope this helped! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between two lines AB and A’B’ is A'B'=3AB.

It is given that in the given figure larger figure was dilated using a scale factor of 3. It means the smaller and larger figures are similar and there corresponding sides are in the ratio 1:3.

The line AB connecting the two points of the smaller figure and line A'B' connecting the two points of the larger figure.

Since A'B' is corresponding line segment of AB in larger figure, therefore the ratio of AB to A'B' is 1:3.

By cross multiplication we get

The length of segment A'B' is 3 times of AB.
