Nicole pulls are red 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 red are red. Use words and numbers to describe the probability that she pulls a red marble out of the bowl. show your work.

Answer 1

The probability of pulling a red marble can be calculated by dividing the total number of red marbles by the total number of marbles in the bowl.

Probability of pulling a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
Probability of pulling a red marble = 12 / 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = 1 / 10

Therefore, the probability that Nicole pulls a red marble out of the bowl is 1/10 or 0.1.
