Answer 1

Answer: 19/25

Step-by-step explanation: 50 candies total. 28 are red, 10 are blue 8 are green, and 4 are yellow. We want to calculate the probability of choosing a candy and either getting blue or red. The total candies that are blue or red are 28+10 = 38. So, 38/50. We can simplify by dividing by 2 to get 19/25. 19 is a prime number so that is as simple as we can get,
