I don't know.i think I
To determine which of the given options Collin could do to increase the fraction of his marbles that is blue, we need to analyze each option:
f) Add a yellow marble: If Collin adds a yellow marble, the number of marbles he has will increase, but the number of blue marbles will remain the same. Therefore, this option will not help him increase the fraction of blue marbles.
g) Take away a blue marble: If Collin takes away a blue marble, the total number of marbles he has will decrease, and the number of blue marbles will also decrease. Therefore, this option will also not help him increase the fraction of blue marbles.
h) Take away a yellow marble: If Collin takes away a yellow marble, the total number of marbles he has will decrease, but the number of blue marbles will remain the same. Therefore, this option will result in a higher fraction of marbles that are blue.
i) Add a green marble: If Collin adds a green marble, the total number of marbles he has will increase, but the number of blue marbles will remain the same. Therefore, this option will not help him increase the fraction of blue marbles.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is h) Take away a yellow marble.
