In order to find the probability of drawing a marble that is NOT BLUE, we must find the ratio of non-blue marbles to the total amount of marbles
Let's count how many marbles total there are first
8 red + 3 blue + 1 green = 12 marbles total
Now, how many marbles are there that <u>ARE NOT BLUE </u>
8 red + 1 green = 9 marbles <u>THAT ARE NOT BLUE </u>
Now<em> let's create a ratio</em> to find a probility
9/12
This can be simplified to 3/4 by taking out the common factor of 3
Your answer is D! "three-fourths"
-x+3x=2x
2x=2+6
2x=8
8/2=4
x=4
