Answer

56\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Determine the total number of marbles in the bowl.

    Number of red marbles = 6
    Number of blue marbles = 4
    Number of black marbles = 2
    Total number of marbles = 6+4+2=126 + 4 + 2 = 12

  2. Determine the number of marbles that are not black.

    Marbles that are not black include red and blue marbles.
    Number of non-black marbles = Number of red marbles + Number of blue marbles
    Number of non-black marbles = 6+4=106 + 4 = 10

  3. Calculate the probability of drawing a marble that is not black.

    Probability (not black) = Number of non-black marblesTotal number of marbles\frac{\text{Number of non-black marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}
    Probability (not black) = 1012\frac{10}{12}
    Simplify the fraction:
    Probability (not black) = 56\frac{5}{6}

    The probability that a marble drawn at random from the bowl is not black is 56\boxed{\frac{5}{6}}.
