Answer:

B. 11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles in the bag is 34

13 + 9 + 12 = 34

Then you subtract 12 from 34, since you want to know the probability of NOT getting a green marble.

12 - 34 = 22

Then you plug them into the equation:

# of outcomes that satisfy the requirement/ total # of possible outcomes

22/34 = 11/17

Hope this helps!
