Probability=number of specific outcomes/total number of possible outcomes...

P(GorB)=P(G)+P(B)

P(GorB)=3/20+5/20

P(GorB)=8/20=2/5  (40%)

First find the total number of marbles.
3 + 4 + 5 + 8 =20 marbles

to find a probability l, put your sample quantity as the numerator and the total number of marbles as your denominator

3/20 for green marbles and 5/20 for blue marbles

any fraction that is not in simplest terms, yet, needs to be simplified.

5/20 ---> 1/4 for blue marbles and 3/20 for green marbles

then write out the probability...
1 to 4 marbles and 3 to 20 marbles (or your can keep it as a fraction or write it as 1:4 and 3:20)

don't forget to label your answer too

if it is looking for altogether the probability then you add both your probabilities and simplify it
