Jared has a bag that contains 8 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, and 10 green marbles. he selects a marble, replaces it in the bag, and then selects another marble. what is the probability that both marbles are green? a. 5/72 b. 10/144 c. 25/144 d. 5/6 marking brainliest to the best 20 points

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jared has a bag that contains marbles of different colors.

Number of blue marbles = 8

Number of red marbles = 6

Number of green marbles = 10

Total marbles in the bag = 8 + 6 + 10 = 24 marbles

He selects a marble from the bag, replace it and then select  a marble again.

The probability that first marble would be green =  

the probability that another marble would be green =  

The probability that both marbles would be green

=   ×  

=   ×  

=  

The answer would be Option C.  

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First find the common denominator of the 2 fractions (8)    4: 4

    8: 4, 8

2.) then you write a new expression with the numerator left blank and the denominator as 8 shown below in the step by step explanation.  /8 + /8

3.)3/8 + 2/4 multiply by 1 both numerator and denominator for the first fraction. And multiply by 2 both numerator and denominator for the second fraction. 3/8 + 4/8.

4.) Then you add those 2 fractions which I assume you already know how by adding the numerators together, and get 12/8.

5.) You simplify 12/8 and get 1 4/8. 4/8 is equal to 1/2 so its 1 1/2.
