The problem asks for the probability that two marbles, drawn from two jars, are green and blue, respectively. Let's break down the solution:

### Jar Breakdown:
- **Jar 1 (left jar)** contains 4 marbles: 1 green, 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 yellow.
- **Jar 2 (right jar)** contains 3 marbles: 2 green and 1 yellow.

### Task:
We need to calculate the probability that:
- One marble drawn from **Jar 1** is **blue**.
- One marble drawn from **Jar 2** is **green**.

### Step 1: Calculate individual probabilities
- **Probability of drawing blue from Jar 1**: There is 1 blue marble out of 4, so the probability is:
  \[
  P(\text{blue from Jar 1}) = \frac{1}{4}
  \]
  
- **Probability of drawing green from Jar 2**: There are 2 green marbles out of 3, so the probability is:
  \[
  P(\text{green from Jar 2}) = \frac{2}{3}
  \]

### Step 2: Multiply the probabilities
Since the events are independent (the draw from Jar 1 does not affect the draw from Jar 2), we multiply the two probabilities:
\[
P(\text{green and blue}) = P(\text{blue from Jar 1}) \times P(\text{green from Jar 2}) = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}
\]

### Step 3: Convert to percentage
The probability as a percentage is:
\[
P(\text{green and blue}) = \frac{1}{6} \times 100 = 16.67\%
\]

Thus, the probability that the two marbles are green and blue is **16.67%**.

Let me know if you need further details or clarifications. Here are some follow-up questions to explore this concept further:

1. What would be the probability if you wanted both marbles to be green?
2. How would the probability change if Jar 1 had 2 blue marbles instead of 1?
3. What is the probability of drawing a red marble from Jar 1 and a yellow marble from Jar 2?
4. If you drew two marbles from just Jar 1, what is the probability both are blue?
5. What would be the probability of drawing any yellow marble from either jar?

### Tip:
When solving probability questions, always check whether the events are independent (outcomes do not affect each other), as this helps determine how to calculate the combined probability!

Two jars contain colored marbles, as shown here. If one marble is drawn from each jar without looking, what is the chance that the two marbles will be green and blue? Express your answer as a percent. Do not enter the percent symbol.
