Question

A bowl contains 80 M&M candies. If 15 of the candies are orange, what fraction of the candies is not orange?

Answer 1

65 candies are not orange.

Answer 2

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.
