1.)There are 35 marbles in a bag:9 blue marbles, 8 marbles, 4 red marbles, 4 red marbles, 8 white marbles, & 6 yellow marbles. Find P(Red). Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form, a decimal, & a percent.
A.)4/31, 0.129, 12.9%
B.)4/35, 0.114, 11.4%
C.)1/7, 0.143, 14.3%
D.)3/35, 0.086, 8.6%
My mom says it's D,although I disagree, I think it's A, Aren't I'm corrected?!
Ok, It's B
4/35 = .114 = 11.4%
However, the sum of your listed colors (and one color is missing and one is duplicated) does not equal 35.
15purple marbles,3 pink marbles, and 12 gray marbles ratio of purple marbles to all marbles
This is late but;
1: B = 5/35
2: D = 1/64
3: A = 5/44
4: A = 1/11
The answers may change from time to time so don't get mad at me if you get them wrong using my answer key for the quiz. Thank you and I hope you guys have a successful year.
To find the probability of drawing a red marble, you need to determine the number of red marbles in the bag and divide it by the total number of marbles in the bag.
According to the information provided, there are a total of 35 marbles in the bag. From that, there are 4 red marbles.
To find the probability, we can use the formula: P(Red) = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles.
P(Red) = 4 / 35
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
4 and 35 have no common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, the probability can be written as the fraction 4/35.
To convert the fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (4) by the denominator (35):
4 รท 35 = 0.114
To convert the decimal to a percent, multiply it by 100:
0.114 * 100 = 11.4%
So, the correct answer is B) 4/35, 0.114, 11.4%.
You are correct, and your mom is mistaken.
