Answer 1

From the first bag the probability is 5 out of 15 or 1/3 simplified

The second bags probability is 4 out of 9

All the bags combined the probability is 9 out of 24

Explanation:

The probability should be set up by putting the blue marbles as the numerator and the sum of all the marbles combined for the denominator

With everything said all you have to do is figure out the two steps an you’re good to go
