Algebra.Com's Answer #236024 by nyc_function(2741) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let p(green) = probability of picking a green marble\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(green) = 10/total number of marbles\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(green) = 10/(10 + 4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(green) = 10/14\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "p(green) = 5/7\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Done!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You Said:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"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.\" \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "My Reply:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Both fractions are equivalent fractions. I simply reduced 10/14 to 5/7 but both answers are correct.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Understand? \n" ); document.write( " |
