Okay, so if you have 30 pieces of candy. 14 of them are cream soda flavored, so, right away, you can eliminate those. 30-14=16. 16 pieces are not cream soda flavored. So put the number of non cream soda flavored pieces as the numerator over the total number of candy pieces as the denominator. 16/30. However, we can simplify this. take the numerator and divide it by 2, to get 8. take the denominator and divide it by 2, to get 15. So the simplified fraction is 8/15. So there is an 8 out of 15 chance that you will pull out a candy that is not cream soda flavored.
