10 green cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cubes is 8+2+10 = 20

The probability of drawing a green cube when there is replacement is

P (green) = green cubes / total

=2 / 20

= 1/10

Multiply the probability by the number of draws to get the total number of cubes

1/10 * 100 draws = 10 green cubes
