Split the fifteen into five parts (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15). Take away 1/5th (3 marbles) leaving four fifths. Therefore, there should be four fifths (which equals 12 marbles) remaining.

Is a bag of marbles a fluid?

No, a bag of marbles is not a fluid. Fluids are substances that can flow and take the shape of their container, such as liquids and gases. Marbles are solid objects that maintain their shape and do not flow like fluids. Therefore, a bag of marbles does not exhibit the characteristics of a fluid.

The probability is 100%.There's no way to take four marbles out of this bag without at least one of them being white.


Allan and Alex together have 76 marbles if Allan has 12 more marbles than Alex how many marbles has Allan?

Let A represent the number of marbles Allan has and let X represent the number of marbles Alex has. From the given information, we have the equations A + X = 76 and A = X + 12. Substituting the second equation into the first, we get (X + 12) + X = 76. Solving for X, we find that X = 32. Therefore, Allan has A = X + 12 = 32 + 12 = 44 marbles.
