A bag contains 56 marbles: 7 red, 8 green, 11 yellow, 17 brown, and 13 blue.
If a marble is chosen at random, what is the probability that the marble is green?
You count how many colors there are and make how many color as your denominator [5 colors(Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Brown)] and find out what color was picked as your numerator [Green(1 color)].
