12/16 which would reduce to 6/8 which can also reduce further to 3/4! :) so the final answer is 3/4.

Start by finding the total sum of cards in the box.

9+4+3= 16

Now what we are looking for is how many cards we are looking for to pull (yellow or blue).

9+3 =12

We could pull 12 cards that would be yellow or blue out of a box of 16 cards.

Our answer would be 12/16 simplified to 3/4.
