Answer: probability for 1st marble being green is 2/9 and 2nd marble being red is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this is correct. since there are 9 marbles and 2 of them are green, you do 2/9 which is 2/9 in its simplest form. And since you didn't put back the first marble there are 8 marbles left and 2 of them are red. You do 2/8 which in its simplest form is 1/4. I hope this helps
