Question

There are 16 marbles in a bag 12 of them are blue and 4 are yellow. what is the probability of picking a blue marble then a yellow marble without replacing the first one
11/20
3/7
1/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the prob that you will pick a blue marble would be 12/16, easy.

then the prob of picking a yellow marble after that would be 4/15 since one marble is already missing. multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction. so 12 x 4 and 16 x 15 to get 48/240. then divide each by 48 to get 1/5.
