A bag contains 12 green marbles and 9 white marbles. In simplest form, what are the odds in favor of drawing a white marble? A. 4:7 B. 3:4 C. 1:7 D. 4:3

3         :4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that odds are different than probability

favor  : not in favor ( drawing something other than white)

9 white : 12 not white

Divide each by 3

9/3      : 12/3

3         :4

Since we are drawing a white marble, this number goes before any other color in the ratio;

9 white marbles to 12 green marble or 9:12

Simplify the ratio:

9:12

9/3:12/3

3:4

This can't be simplified anymore.

Therefore, the answer is [ B. 3:4 ]

Best of Luck!

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
