    A) 3/5 is the probability of choosing a green marble at random.

    B) 42 marbles are in the bag. Before adding the 7 additional marbles, you have 35 marbles. 21 of those marbles were green, and 14 were red. By adding 7 red marbles, you will now have 21 red marbles and 21 green marbles, making the probability of choosing either color 1/2.
