Abag contains only red and blue marbles. yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. the probability that she takes a red marble is 1 in 5. yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. the probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. how many red marbles were originally in the bag?

5 red marbles

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^
