Question

type the correct answer in each box.
kayla has a bowl of beads that contains 42 yellow beads, 28 green beads, 12 white beads, and 18 red beads. she randomly draws a bead from the bowl.

the probability of kayla not drawing a yellow or a green bead is (square) %. the probability of kayla drawing a red or a green bead is (square) %.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of beads

First, we find the total number of beads by adding the number of each color.
Total beads = 42 (yellow) + 28 (green) + 12 (white) + 18 (red) = 42 + 28 + 12 + 18 = 100.

Step2: Probability of not drawing yellow or green (first box)

Beads that are not yellow or green are white and red. Number of white + red = 12 + 18 = 30.
Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of non - yellow and non - green beads}}{\text{Total number of beads}}=\frac{30}{100}=0.3$. To convert to percentage, multiply by 100: $0.3\times100 = 30\%$.

Step3: Probability of drawing red or green (second box)

Number of red + green beads = 18 + 28 = 46.
Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of red or green beads}}{\text{Total number of beads}}=\frac{46}{100}=0.46$. To convert to percentage, multiply by 100: $0.46\times100 = 46\%$.

Answer:

First box: 30, Second box: 46
