A bag contains red, blue and green marbles. 2/3 of the marbles are not red and 3/4 of the marbles are not blue. What fraction of the marbles are not green? Express your fraction in lowest terms.
Given that 2/3 of the marbles are not red, then 1/3 of the marbles are red.
Given that 3/4 of the marbles are not blue, then 1/4 of the marbles are blue.
1/3 = 4/12 are red
1/4 = 3/12 are blue
total 7/12 are either red or blue, so if they're red or blue they're not green
