Question

I need to know the answer and how to do it?

Answer 1

There are 9 purple candies.
Now, it asks for the total amount of candies. That means you have to add all of the candies including the purple.

6 + 9 + 7 + 14 = 36

The ratio asks for the purple candies over the total amount of candies.

That would be 9/36, which would be 1/4 in simplest form.

Answer 2

There are 9 purple candies and it wants you to basically add ALL of the candy and create a ratio

9:36
