Question

A jar contains 4 red marbles and 8 blue marbles. a marble is drawn from the jar. What is the probability that a red marble is drawn?

Answer 1

4 red marbles. 
8 blue marbles.

Now lets add these two to find out the total. 

4 + 8 = 12

So, 12 marbles in total.

4 red marbles so our fraction would look like this:-

$\frac{4}{12}$

Lets simplify:- 

$\frac{4/4}{8/4} = \frac{1}{4}$

So, our answer in simplest form is:- $\frac{1}{4}$.
