A bag contains 3 yellow marbles, 4 green marbles, 6 purple marbles, and 2 orange marbles. If a marble is drawn from the bag, what is the probability that it is orange? (Write your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.)
2 out of 15
2/15
To find the probability of drawing an orange marble, we need to determine the total number of marbles in the bag and the number of orange marbles.
The total number of marbles in the bag is the sum of the marbles of all colors: 3 yellow marbles + 4 green marbles + 6 purple marbles + 2 orange marbles = 15 marbles.
The number of orange marbles is given as 2.
Thus, the probability of drawing an orange marble is 2/15.
Therefore, the answer is: 2/15.
