2/16 because when you add all the marbles, you get 16 in total and there are 2 red marbles so there is a 2/16 chance of choosing one of the red marbles. If you want it simplified, it would be 1/8.

The surface area (SA) of a cube with a as the length of each of its sides is given by the formula SA=6a^2 If the surface area is

slava [35]

So to rewrite it so that we can find the side, we just need to isolate the a variable.

$SA=6a^2$

So firstly, divide by 6 on both sides of the equation: $\frac{SA}{6} =a^2$

Next, square root each side, and your answer should be $\sqrt{\frac{SA}{6}} =a$
