A:
Hey there :)
Let us translate the sentence into mathematics step by step: There are twice as many as blue cubes as yellow cubes 2 x yellow = 2 cubes = blue 1 cube = yellow
There are four times as many as green cubes as blue cubes 4 x 2 ( blue cubes ) = 8 cubes = green
Total cubes = yellow + blue + green = 1 + 2 + 8 = 11
Hannah takes random cube Probability that Hannah takes yellow cube: P = number of Yellow cubes ÷ Total number of cubes P = [tex] \frac{1}{11} [/tex]
