A jar contains 4 red marbles and 8 blue marbles. a marble is drawn from the jar. What is the probability that a red marble is drawn?
4 red marbles.
8 blue marbles.
Now lets add these two to find out the total.
4 + 8 = 12
So, 12 marbles in total.
4 red marbles so our fraction would look like this:-
\(\frac{4}{12}\)
Lets simplify:-
\(\frac{4/4}{8/4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
So, our answer in simplest form is:- \(\frac{1}{4}\).
