Answer 1

Part 1

To convert the fraction to a decimal, you should:

A. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

This is the correct answer.

Part 2

Now, to convert the probability \(\frac{25}{50}\) to a decimal:

\[ \frac{25}{50} = 25 \div 50 = 0.5 \]

Thus, the probability \(\frac{25}{50}\) as a decimal is 0.5.

You can describe this probability as "fifty percent" or simply "0.5", indicating that there is a 50% chance of selecting a blue marble.
