Question

A box contains 4 marbles: 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 green, and 1 white. A marble is randomly drawn from the box and a number cube, labeled 1 through 6, is tossed. What is the probability of getting a yellow marble and an odd number? Express as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 marbles in the box and one of them is a yellow marble. The odds of getting a yellow marble fr the box is 1/4.

A number cube labeled 1 through 6 has 6 numbers, which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The odd numbers in the cube are 1, 3 and 5. The probability of getting an odd number from the cube is 3/6, which is simplified to 1/2.

To find the probability of both cases occurring, both fractions should be multiplied.

1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8
