To solve the problem, we need to find the number of white marbles in the jar. We know the total number of marbles and the probabilities of selecting blue and green marbles. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the total number of marbles The total number of marbles in the jar is given as 54. ### Step 2: Calculate the number of blue marbles The probability of selecting a blue marble is \( \frac{1}{3} \). This means that the fraction of blue marbles in the jar is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the total number of marbles. ...
