Answer 2

Answer:

The first bag,  1 in 3 and the second, 2 in 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 15 total marbles in the first bag, and 5 blue, there is a 5 in 15 chance, or 1 out of 3 chance she could pull a blue out of the first bag. The second bag, has 9 in total and 2 blue, so there is a 2 in 9 chance she could pull out a blue from the second bag. Hope this helps!
