QuestionMelissa has a bag that contains 6 red marbles, 8 yellow marbles, and 18 blue marbles. If she chooses one marble from the bag, what is the probability that the marble is not blue? A. 916\frac{9}{16} B. 716\frac{7}{16} C. 79\frac{7}{9} D. 29\frac{2}{9}

Studdy Solution
Calculate the probability of drawing a non-blue marble:
Probability=Number of non-blue marblesTotal number of marbles=1432\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of non-blue marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}} = \frac{14}{32}
Simplify the fraction:
1432=716\frac{14}{32} = \frac{7}{16}
The probability that the marble is not blue is:
716 \boxed{\frac{7}{16}}
