have a good day
The first time I solved this problem, I did it in a way that I had to
mess with changing fractions to common denominators and all that.
Suddenly, however, the clean and easy way to do it dawned on me.
Here it is:
-- There are 56 marble in the bag.
-- The probability of pulling a red marble is 5/8, so
5/8 of the 56 marbles must be red.
5/8 of 56 = 35 red marbles.
-- The probability of pulling a green marble is 1/7,
so 1/7 of the 56 marbles must be green.
1/7 of 56 = 8 green marbles.
-- The red and green marbles make up (35 + 8) = 43
of the 56 marbles in the bag.
-- The rest of them are yellow.
There are (56 - 43) = 13 yellow marbles in the bag.
-- The probability of pulling a yellow marble is 13/56 . (about 23.2%)
No messy fractions at all !
That's the way I like it !

To solve the question we use the following analogy:
Given that the odds of winning is a/b, then the probability is b/(a+b)
hence to solve the question we proceed as follows:
a]
P(E)=11/36
odds against E=(36-11)/11
simplifying this gives us:
25/11
b] P(E)=31/36
odds against E=(36-31)/31
simplifying this we get:
5/31
hence odds in favor of E=31/5
c]P(E)=32/36
odds in favor of E will be:
36/(36-32)
simplifying the above we get:
36/4
=9/1
d]
P(E)=30/36
odds against E will be:
(36-30)/36
simplifying this we obtain:
6/36
=1/5
e] P(E)=13/36
odds against E will be:
(36-13)/13
simplifying this we obtain:
23/13
