Question

A bag contains 2 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the exact probability that both marbles drawn will be blue?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Red + 3 Blue + 7 Green = 12 Total Marbles.

You have 3 blue marbles out of the total marbles, so 3/12, then simplify it. 3/12 = 1/4. This gives you 0.25, or 25%.  

The probability of drawing a blue marble is 0.25 or 25%
