Question 329332: What is the probability of picking a green marble? If there is 10 green marbles and 4 red marbles

Let p(green) = probability of picking a green marble
p(green) = 10/total number of marbles
p(green) = 10/(10 + 4)
p(green) = 10/14
p(green) = 5/7
Done!

"Thank you and this helped me but I do not no how you got the 5/7 when it was 10/14 at first but thank you once again."
My Reply:
Both fractions are equivalent fractions. I simply reduced 10/14 to 5/7 but both answers are correct.
Understand?
