There are 4 blue marbles There are 2 black marbles There are 3 red marbles There are a total of 9 marbles You minus the black marbles from the total 9-2=7 If there are 7 non black marbles then the ratio is 7:9 7:9 is the probability that you won't get a black marble

The probability that a marble drawn from the bag is NOT black is 9 7 ​ . This is calculated by finding the total number of non-black marbles (7) and dividing that by the total number of marbles (9).
