Emma has a bag of marbles there are nine pink, five red eight green, two blue and six white marbles in the bag calculate the compliment of not picking a pink marble
The total number of marbles in the bag is:
9 pink + 5 red + 8 green + 2 blue + 6 white = 30 marbles
The number of pink marbles is 9, so the compliment of not picking a pink marble is the number of marbles that are not pink, which is:
30 total marbles - 9 pink marbles = 21 marbles
Therefore, the compliment of not picking a pink marble is 21 marbles.
