Answer 1

In a bag of marbles you have 6 green, 4 yellow, 8 blue, and 2 red marbles. What is the probability of picking a yellow marble from the bag?

First add up all the marbles. You should get 20 Marbles. (6+4+8+2)
There are 4 yellow marbles and 20 marbles total
The probability of getting a yellow marble would be 4/20
Simplified to 1/5
The probability of getting a yellow marble would be 1/5
