Question

A jar contains 24 marbles, some are green and some are blue. If a marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is 2/3. Find the number of blue marbles in the jar. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 blue marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

No.of marbles=24

let there be x green marbles and (24-x) blue marbles.

P (green)= x/24=2/3

Solving, we get x as 16.

So, the number of green marbles= 16

therefore, no.of blue marbles= 24-16= 8 blue marbles.
