To find the probability that a jellybean will be neither red nor purple, you need to first determine the total number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple and then divide it by the total number of jellybeans.

Total number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple = Total jellybeans - (Red jellybeans + Purple jellybeans) Total number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple = 60 - (5 + 4) Total number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple = 60 - 9 Total number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple = 51

Now, you can calculate the probability:

Probability (neither red nor purple) = (Number of jellybeans that are neither red nor purple) / (Total number of jellybeans) Probability (neither red nor purple) = 51 / 60

To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

Probability (neither red nor purple) = (51 / 3) / (60 / 3) Probability (neither red nor purple) = 17 / 20

So, the probability that the jellybean will be neither red nor purple is 17/20, which is equal to 0.85 when expressed as a decimal.
