Answer:
This is a really simple example, but imagine you had two marbles in a bowl. One is blue and one is green. Without looking, you reach into the bowl and pick one marble. What is the probability that the marble is blue?
There are two total marbles and you pick one, with one being blue and one being green. The probability that you pick the blue marble instead of the green marble is 1/2. The 2 represents the total number of marbles and the 1 represents the favorable outcome of drawing a blue marble.
Hope this helps!
