well, , 3/12 are yellow, so ...
Hey fellow student! The total number of marbles is 12. Because:
5 red marbles + 4 blue marbles + 3 yellow marbles = 12 total marbles
And there are 3 YELLOW marbles in the special bag . . .
So the probability of a yellow marble would be 3/12. The reason why is because there are 3 TOTAL yellow marbles and there are 12 TOTAL marbles.
Hope this helps!
