Hi, I need help with this math question please. If I wanted to have an equal chance of taking out a red block or blue block, I would put in how many red blocks?
There are currently three blocks in a bag.
-----
If # of red is r and # of blue is b.
r+b = 3
b = 3-r
-----
You would need to put in # of blue - # of red
---
You would need to put in (3-r)-(3-b) = (b-r) red balls
