I have 7 black and 3 white marbles. I will randomly pick 2 of them. What is the probability that both of them are white? How to solve this?
Our math teacher taught us to do 7:3 this is the ratio of black marbles to white marbles. now set it up as a fraction, 7/3. Then since you picked two marbles you will add 7 and 3 because that is your total amount of marbles. So cross multiply 7/3 and 10/2 and simplify if needed, then you have your answer to the probability.
