To find the probability of picking a blue marble from the bag, we need to divide the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag.

First, let's find the total number of marbles in the bag by adding up the number of each color:
Total number of marbles = 6 (green) + 4 (yellow) + 8 (blue) + 2 (red) = 20

Next, let's find the probability by dividing the number of blue marbles by the total number of marbles:
Probability of picking a blue marble = Number of blue marbles / Total number of marbles
Probability of picking a blue marble = 8 (blue) / 20 (total)
Probability of picking a blue marble = 0.4 or 40%

So, the probability of picking a blue marble from the bag is 40%.
