Answer 1

Answer:

number of blue marbles =8

Step-by-step explanation:

total number = 24

let number of green marble be x

number of blue marbles = 24-x

given the probability of drawing a green marble = 2/3

x/24=2/3

x=2/3*24

x=2*8

x=16

number of green marble = 16

number of blue marble = 24-x

24-16

x=8

number of blue marble is 8
