add up all of the marbles and whatever is asking you for possibilities is the number of marbles is given you already. for example. i have a ticket for a raffle. so i got only 1 and there is 25 people more with a ticket. what are my chances of winning? 1 out of 25 right?(1/25) because i got 1 ticket if i had 2 it would be 2 out of 25 or (2/25) hope this helps. :)
