Katie has 8 black marbles, 12 clear marbles, and 14 blue marbles in a bag. If she picks one at random, what is the probability that she will pick a black marble? (Enter your answer as a fraction in its reduced form.) a 4/17 b 7/34 c 6/17 d 12/34

4/17

Step-by-step explanation:

8 black marbles, 12 clear marbles, and 14 blue marbles = 34 marbles

P( black) = number of black/ total

              = 8/34

              =4/17

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
