Answer 1

6/19 for a fraction answer 31.6 for a decimal answer

Explanation:

we want to find the probabilty for pink

so lets add all of the marbels together

all them equal 38

we only want to find the probabilty for pink

so we are gonna put 12 over 38 ( which looks like this : 12/38)

we want to simplify it and the simplified verson of 12/38 is 6/19

that could be your total number if they want it as a fraction if they want it as a decimal put 6/19 in your calcalator and that will come up as 0.315789473684 then press times 100 which will put it in the correct spot with will come up as 31.5789473684 since there is a 7 next to the 5

I rounded it up to 31.6 but if the problem doesnt ask for it to be rounded up I guess you can keep it as 31.5

I hope this helps hon !!

Answer 2

6/19. You add them all up then take 12 as your numerator and the sum (38) as your denominator. Then you reduce
