Question

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 4 blue, 9 yellow, and 5 green. What is the probability of getting a yellow or a green?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, you first have to add up the total number of marbles in the bag.

3+4+9+5=21

Next you find the probability of getting a yellow:

9/21

Then you find the probability of getting a green:

5/21

And since the problem says "yellow or green" we will add the two together

9/21 + 5/21 = 14/21 = 2/3
