marble colorfractiondecimalpercent
blue
white

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total marbles

$6 + 4 + 2 = 12$

Step2: Find red marble probability

Fraction: $\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$
Decimal: $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
Percent: $0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$

Step3: Find blue marble probability

Fraction: $\frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}$
Decimal: $\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33$
Percent: $0.33 \times 100 = 33\%$

Step4: Find white marble probability

Fraction: $\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$
Decimal: $\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.17$
Percent: $0.17 \times 100 = 17\%$
