total 27 marbles
probability green marbles = 2/3 ×27 (cancel)
=2×9
=18
probabilty of blue marble = 1-2/3
= 1/3
blue marble = 1/3 ×27 (cancel )
= 1×9
= 9
green = 18 and blue = 9
probability green marbles = 2/3 ×27 (cancel)
=2×9
=18
probabilty of blue marble = 1-2/3
= 1/3
blue marble = 1/3 ×27 (cancel )
= 1×9
= 9
green = 18 and blue = 9

Answer:
The number of blue marbles in the jar is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of green marbles in the jar,
Given,
The total number of marbles = 27,
In which some are green and some are blue,
⇒ Number of blue marbles = 27 - x
Since, the probability of green marble = Number of green marbles / Total number of marbles
Hence, the number of blue marbles = 27 - 18 = 9.
