( 3 marks )( Sorry if this question was already answered but I can't find it. Sorry! >_< )

Accepted Solution

A:
Let the yellow cubes be x

yellow = x
blue = 2x                // Blue cubes is twice of yellow
Green = 8x              // Green is four times of blue

Ratio:
Yellow : Blue : Green
   1       :   2    :     8

P(Yellow) = 1/11
