Answer:
2/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that this is without replacement,
The total amount of marbles is 2+9+3+7, or 21.
9 are yellow, 3 are white. this makes 12.
The probability of selecting a white or yellow marble is 12/21.
Now without replacement (comment if it is with replacement.), there are 20 marbles left, and 2 are Cordovan. This means there is a 2/20 chance then of picking a Cordovan marble.
After multiplying the fractions we get
(12/21) * (2/20) = 2/35.
There is a 2/35 chance of selecting a yellow or white, then a cordovan marble.
So the first thing we need to do is set up an equation (using x to represent the number). Then, we'll solve it to get the answer.
Step 1: Translate the word problem into an equation
Word problem: The sum of nine and six-tenths and a number is thirteen and two-tenths.
Equation:
+ x = 
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting
from each side
+ x -
=
- 
Step 3: The numbers on the left cancel out, leaving x alone
x = 
Step 4: Convert the answer to decimals
x = 3.6
