Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{7}$ of the chocolates are plain.

$\frac{5}{7}$ of the chocolates are milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of plain chocolates to milk chocolates is 2:5

This means that for each 2+5 = 7 chocolates, 2 are plain and 5 are milk.

So $\frac{2}{7}$ of the chocolates are plain.

And $\frac{5}{7}$ of the chocolates are milk.
