Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total number of jellybeans in Grace's pocket=16

Number of red jellybeans=8

Number of green jellybeans=4

Number of blue jellybeans=4

We have to find the minimum number of Jellybeans she must take out of her pocket to ensure that she has one of each color.

If she has one of each color

Total jellybeans=1 red+1green+1 blue=3 jellybeans

Then ,she has  minimum number of jellybeans =16-3=13

Hence, the minimum number of jellybeans she must take out of her pocket to ensure that she has one of each color=13
