A bag holds 5 red marbles, 7 green marbles, and 4 yellow marbles. If marbles are not returned to thr bag afetr being drawn, what is the rpobability that the first marble will be red and the second marble will be yellow? A. 1/4
B. 1/12
C. 3/16
D. 4/52

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of marbles = 5+7+4 = 16 marbles

Probability of picking a red marble = 5/16

Because the red marble is not returned back after being picked up, the total number of marbles is now 15.

Now,

Probability of picking a yellow marble = 4/15

The probability of picking a red and yellow marble will be the product of these two probabilities which will = 5/16 x 4/15 = 1/12

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
