A bag contains 5 white marbles, 4 black marbles, and 1 red marbles. Find the probability of picking a red marble?
1 of 9?
how many marbles are in the bag altogether
10
its 1 of 10
do i have to simplify it to 1/5? or do i keep it as 1/10
you cant simplify 1/10 any lower because of the 1
A bag has 2 green marbles, 3 red marbles, and 3 yellow marbles. What is the probability that you pick a red marble, do not replace it, and pick yellow marble?
medal? lol
i am getting 9/64 but that isn't one of the answers that comes up.. what am i doing wrong?
1/8 9/56 3/28 1/28 these are the answers to chose from
check and see if you have written your question correctly
i did lol, but idk what I'm doing wrong
it is simple addition, 5+4 is 9 and 9+1 is 10 their is 1 red marble so 1/10 marbles is red
this is a different problem! haha

i got the other one, but this one I'm getting 9/64 but that isn't an option choice i don't know what I'm doing wrong
there are 8 marbles total 3 are red so that is 3/8 and u dont replace so now u got 7 3 are yellow so u have 3/7 now you multiply ill show u\[\frac{ 3 }{ 8 } \times \frac{ 3 }{ 7 }=\frac{ 9 }{ 56 }\]
does 9/56 match one of your answers?
ohh i see! i wasn't subtracting out the one you don't replace. i was doing 3/8 X 3/8 when it was supposed to be 3/8 X 3/7… Thats why i was getting 9/64! lol thank you:)
and yes it does!
you are welcome
medal?
Josie had a choice of 5 breads, 3 choices of meat, and 5 choices of cheeses to make a sandwich. How many different sandwiches can she make? when you add these all together you get 13.. but do i have to do anything else?
wait a sec
she has 75 different choices ill teach u a trick
5(bread) times 3(meat) times 5(cheese) =75 different combos
ohhhh i added, thats why. lol Thank you so much for you help! it helped me to be able to do my other problems
your welcome
medal now? lolol
this is my last one. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six sided die and then rolling a 4? 2,4,6,8,10 are even numbers 3,5,7,9 are odd numbers a dice has 6 sides, so would it be 5/6 times something?
lol sorry i didn't know what medal meant until just now haha
