Maddy has a bag of 36 marbles. The probability of picking green is 1 in 2, the probability of picking red is 1 in 3, and the probability of picking blue is 1 in 9. The only other color in the bag is black. Find the probability of Maddy picking a black marble.

 1 in 18

This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18

Explanation:

Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.

Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.

So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.

From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.

There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.

1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately

answer:     true

step-by-step explanation:

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
