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.

Hope that Helped :)
