Question

A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and others are blue. If a marble is drawn at
random from the jar, the probability that it is green is ⅔. Find the number of blue balls
in the jar.

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{white}{pink}{Answer}}$

Total marbles = 24

Let the total green marbles = x

So, the total blue marbles = 24 – x

P(getting green marble) = x/24

From the question, x/24 = 2/3

So, the total green marbles = 16

And, the total blue marbles = 24 – x = 8
