Question

A bag contains 9 red marbles, 18 orange marbles, 2 yellow marbles, and 5 purple marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the marble drawn will not be orange?

Answer 1

Answer:

8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

total balls= 9 + 18 + 2 + 5 = 34

balls drawn should NOT be Orange.

so, 34 - 18 (as there are 18 orange balls)

16 balls

probability= 16/34 = 8/17

answer = 8/17
