Aiden has 15 pieces of candy in a brown paper bag. 3 are candy bars, 2 are gum, 4 are mints, 5 are chewy candies and 1 is a lollipop. What is the probability that he reaches in, grabs a candy bar or chewy candy, eats it and then grabs a piece of gum?

Answer: 3/10

Step-by-step explanation: so you add 15+3+2+4+5+1 and that is 30 then you simplify 30 and get 3/10
