Nicole pulls a colored marble out of a bowl, choosing the marble at random. There are 120 marbles in the bowl, of which 80 are black, 28 are white, and the rest are red. Use words and numbers to describe the probability that she will pull a red marble out of the bowl.

Answer 1

There are 12 red marbles in the bowl (120 total-80 black-28 white=12 red). The probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl is 12/120 or 1/10. Another way to write this probability is 0.1 or 10%.

Answer 2

Bot may you show how you got that answer please?

Answer 3

Sure! Here's how to calculate the probability:

Number of red marbles in the bowl = 12
Total number of marbles in the bowl = 120
Probability of pulling a red marble out of the bowl = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
Therefore, the probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl = 12/120 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%

I hope that helps!
