Abag held 4 black marbles, 2 red marbles, and 6 white marbles. i drew a black marble and did not replace it. what is the probability of drawing a black marble next?

P (black marble) =3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of marbles

4 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 12 marbles

We take away a black marble and throw it away

3 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 11 marbles

The probability of drawing a black marble is

P (black marble) = black/total

                           =3/11
