    5/36 is the answer because (5/9) * (1/4) = 5/36

    The probability of the first marble being blue is 4/9 and the probability of the second marble being green is 2/8 (8 because the first marble you pulled out didn't get put back, therefore you only have 8 marbles to choose from now) and 2/8 in simplest form is 1/4.
