Question

Diana bought a bag of colored chocolate candies. Before putting them into a bowl, she recorded the number of candies of each color in a frequency chart.

Chocolate candies in bowl
Color Frequency
red 7
orange 12
yellow 8
green 11
Blue 13
Brown 7
Diana then puts another bag of 56 black and white chocolate candies into a second bowl. How many candies are in both bowls combined?

Answer 1

Diana has 58 candies in the first bowl and 56 candies in the second bowl. By adding these together, there are a total of 114 candies in both bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves adding the number of candies from two sources to find the total amount in both bowls. Diana recorded the number of each color in her first bowl which included the following colors and quantities: red - 7, orange - 12, yellow - 8, green - 11, blue - 13, and brown - 7. To find the total number of candies in the first bowl, we add those numbers together.

• 7 (red) + 12 (orange) + 8 (yellow) + 11 (green) + 13 (blue) + 7 (brown) = 58 candies

As for the second bowl, there are 56 black and white chocolate candies. Therefore, the total number of candies in both bowls combined is the sum of the candies in each bowl.

• 58 (first bowl) + 56 (second bowl) = 114 candies

Thus, there are 114 candies in both bowls combined.
