It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Writing the Probability of Outcomes in Fraction Format". The worksheet is designed to help students practice calculating probabilities of drawing specific colored marbles from jars, expressing each probability as a fraction.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll describe how to solve this type of problem and provide a general explanation based on the visible structure of the worksheet.

🔍 Understanding the Task
Each section of the worksheet shows a jar filled with colored marbles (e.g., red, blue, green, yellow). Students are asked to:
1.
Count the total number of marbles in the jar.
2.
Count how many marbles of a specific color are present.
3.
Write the probability of picking that color as a
fraction:
\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}
\]
For example:
- If a jar has 10 marbles: 4 red, 3 blue, 2 green, 1 yellow
- Then, probability of picking a red marble = \( \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \)

✔ Step-by-Step Solution Guide
Let’s assume one of the problems says:
> "Picking a red marble" from a jar with:
> - 6 red
> - 4 blue
> - 2 green
> - Total = 12 marbles
Then:
\[
\text{Probability of red} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
You would write \( \frac{1}{2} \) in the blank space.

📝 Example Problems (Hypothetical)
Here’s how you’d solve a few typical ones:
#### Jar A:
- Red: 3
- Blue: 5
- Green: 2
- Total: 10
| Outcome | Probability |
|--------|-------------|
| Picking a red marble | \( \frac{3}{10} \) |
| Picking a blue marble | \( \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \) |
| Picking a green marble | \( \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \) |

💡 Tips for Solving These Problems
1.
Always count total marbles first.
2.
Simplify fractions when possible (e.g., \( \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \)).
3.
Double-check your counts — miscounting leads to wrong answers.
4.
Use consistent colors — make sure you're matching the correct color.

🌱 "Ink Saving Eco" Note
The bottom right corner says “ink saving Eco” — this likely means the worksheet is designed to be printed efficiently, possibly with grayscale or minimal color use.
---
✔ Final Answer Format
For each question:
- Write the fraction in simplest form.
- Example: If there are 5 red out of 15 total marbles → \( \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} \)

If you can describe a specific jar or problem from the worksheet (e.g., “Jar has 3 red, 2 blue, 5 green — what’s the chance of red?”), I can give you the exact answer!
Otherwise, follow the method above for every jar and color combination. Let me know if you'd like me to walk through a real example!
