Marble Problems

We have finally solved the marble problem. Here is our data lab answer:

Since there are 3/5 marbles that are red. You must first find out how many blue and green marbles there are.

3/5 + ___ + ___ = 5/5
so
5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5
so
__ + ___ = 2/5

by looking at the last problem you can see that each of the blue and green marbles must equal 1/5 each for the total to be 5/5

Red 3/5 3/5 = ?/15 5*3=15 so 3*3=9 3/5 = 9/15
Blue 1/5 1/5 = ?/15 5*3=15 so 1*3=3 1/5 = 3/15
Green 1/5 1/5 = ?/15 5*3=15 so 1*3=3 1/5 = 3/15
= 5/5

So drawing a blue and red marble is 9/15 + 3/15 = 12/15 reduced is 4/5

So there is a 4 out of 5 chance that a blue and red marble will be drawn.
