ok so as she takes a 1 red apple 2 red apples are left.

so it would be 5/(5+2+4)=simplify

she takes an apple and doesn't replace it, thus the number of apples decreases by 1.

The answer would be 5/11
Since he took a red ball and didn't replace it he would have 2 red apples, 5 yellows apples, and 4 green apples. There are 5 yellows apples and in total there is 11 apples
there's your answer
