3/12 of the marbles are yellow, and 2/12 of the marbles are blue.

Of you take 12/12 (total number of marbles) minus 3/12 (amount of yellow marbles out of total) that leaves 9/12 and if you subtract 2/12 (amount of blue marbles from total) from that it leaves you with 7/12 (the amount of green marbles from the total. Yellow=3 Blue=2 Green=7 Total=12

3 yellow marbles + 2 blue marbles + x green marbles = 12 marbles x green marbles = 12 marbles - 5 marbles x green marbles = 7 green marbles

Mary has a total of 12 marbles. Out of these, 3 are yellow, and 2 are blue. Therefore, she has 7 green marbles remaining.
