the probability of choosing a blue marble is
just 24/56 or just 3/7 because there are only 24 marbles
out of the 56 marbles in the bag
I'm a hundred percent sure that this is correct.
It is one of the general rules in the probability.

The probability of choosing a blue marble would be 24/56, and the percentage of choosing a blue marble would be 43% (rounded from 42.85).
24
