Nicole pulls a colored marble out of a bowl, choosing the marble at random. There are 120 marbles in the bowl, of which 80 are black, 28 are white, and the rest are red. Use words and numbers to describe the probability that she will pull a red marble out of the bowl. Show your work. Make it look like a seventh grader wrote it.
The probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl can be calculated by dividing the number of red marbles by the total number of marbles in the bowl.
Number of red marbles = 120 total marbles - (80 black marbles + 28 white marbles)
= 120 - (80 + 28)
= 120 - 108
= 12
Number of red marbles = 12
Total number of marbles = 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
= 12 / 120
= 1 / 10
= 0.1
Therefore, the probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl is 0.1 or 1/10.

Number of red marbles = Total marbles - (black marbles + white marbles)
Number of red marbles = 120 - (80 + 28)
Number of red marbles = 12
Total number of marbles = 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = Number of red marbles / Total number of marbles
Probability of pulling a red marble = 12 / 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = 1 / 10
Probability of pulling a red marble = 0.1
Therefore, the probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl is 0.1 or 1/10.
Make it a little shorter while still showing your work.
Number of red marbles = 120 - (80 + 28) = 12
Total number of marbles = 120
Probability of pulling a red marble = 12 / 120 = 1 / 10 = 0.1
Therefore, the probability of Nicole pulling a red marble out of the bowl is 0.1 or 1/10.
