[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the candy is not m&m's.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total pieces of candy = 140
Number of m&m's = 35
Fraction = [tex]\frac{Number\ of\ m&m}{Total\ pieces\ of\ candy}[/tex]
Fraction = [tex]\frac{35}{140}[/tex]
Both 35 and 140 are multiples of 7, therefore,
Fraction of m&m's = [tex]\frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
As the number of m&m's fraction and not m&m's fraction will make a total of 1, therefore
fraction of m&m's + fraction of not m&m's = 1
fraction of not m&m's = 1 - fraction of m&m's
fraction of not m&m's = [tex]1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]
fraction of not m&m's = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the candy is not m&m's.
