hey
here is your answer
=============================================================
=============================================================
=============================================================
let the number of white marbles = w
let the # of blue marbles = b
let the # of green marbles = g
=> b + w + g = 54
Probability of an event = # of ways an event can occur / total # of outcomes P(b) = 1/3
[ Number of ways it can happen: b (there are b blues)
Total number of outcomes: (b + w + g) (there are 54 marbles in total) ]
=> b / (b + w + g) = 1/3 ---------------------> (i)
P(g) = 4/9
=> g / (b + w + g) = 4/9 ------------------------> (ii)
(i) + (ii) => (b + g) / (b + w + g) = 1/3 + 4/9 = (3 + 4)/9 = 7/9
=> 9(b + g) = 7(b + w + g) = 7 x 54
=> b + g = 42 marbles (blue and green)
or white marbles w = 54 - 42 = 12

hope this helps

Here ur answer
The total number of marbles = 54.
The probability of selecting to a blue marble = 4/9.
Number of blue marbles = 54 * 4/9
= 24.
The probability of selecting to a green marble = 1/3
Number of green marble = 54 * 1/3
= 18.
Probability of white marbles =24+18
=42
= 54 - 42
= 12.
