OpenStudy (anonymous):

From a barrel of colored marbles, you randomly select 7 blue, 5 yellow, 8 red, 4 green, and 6 purple marbles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are y tring to figer out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many green and purple marbles are there, kk?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 1/10 B. 1/5 C. 1/3 D. 2/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think d or b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if not c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you need the probability of picking a green or purple.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 green and 6 purple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@limecake08 please explain rather than giving the answer. Otherwise @kkomhgpop221 won't learn it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so that's 10 total.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Out of 30 marbles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 10/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you need to divide it to make it simplest form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 1/10 B. 1/5 C. 1/3 D. 2/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, again, what's the smallest simple number you can divide by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i equals to 1/3 becuas you divide them bothe by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/10 and 30/10=1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/3 is the answer right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

timmy is 1/3 the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much luv u all
