So there are 80 M&M candies. So that's the total, which is called the denominator in fraction. Now 15 of them are orange, so if we had a fraction bar out of 15, we would shade in 15. Now the amount that is left over is 65 M&M candies, which are going to be the numerator.

Answer : 65/80 candies are not orange.

Hope that Helped :)

Answer

26.6°

Explanation

You are required to use the trigonometric ratio, sine, to find that angle.

SinФ = opposite/hypotenuse

sin Θ = 2.6/5.8

= 0.4483

The angle Θ = Anti-sine(0.4483)

= 26.633°

The angle the slide makes with the ground, correct to one decimal place is 26.6°

Dakota makes a salad dressing by combining 6 1/3 fluid ounces of oil and 2 3/8 fluid ounces of vinegar in a jar. She then pours

6 1/3 +2 3/8 = 17/24 so you have to subtract it from the 2 1/4 fluid to know the amount of dressing remaining and your answer should be negative which is -37/24.
