The probability of choosing a yellow marble is 5/11
Step-by-step explanation:
add 5 and 6 together. it equils 11. Five out of the 11 marbles are yellow. Â that means it is (5, 11) or 5/11. This cannot be simplified any more than it is.
The total number of marbles is 11 because 5+6=11. Since that is the total, 11 is the denominator. The question is asking for the probability of choosing a yellow marble. There are 5 yellow marbles, so 5 is the numerator. [tex]\frac{5}{11}[/tex]
