Question

Carla is mixing cherry, grape and lime candies in a bowl. Since her favorite flavor is cherry, she wants 2/5 of the candies to be cherry. Since her least favorite flavour is lime, she wants 1/4 of the candies to be lime. What fraction of the candies will be grape? Express your answer as a common fraction.

COULD YOU GUYS PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN??​

Answer 1

7/20

Explanation:

5/5 same as 1 is the overall mixture

so 5/5 - 2/5 of the cherry = 3/5

3/5 is left and she puts 1/4 lime

3/5 - 1/4 = 7/20

7/20 is the fraction left and it goes to grape
