Answer 2

Apologies for the mistake. You are correct; the ratio of blue candies to total candies is 2/24, which simplifies to 1/12.

Answer 3

To find the ratio of blue candies to the total candies, we need to add the number of blue candies to the total number of candies and express it as a ratio.

The total number of candies is calculated by adding the number of red candies, yellow candies, and blue candies: 15 + 7 + 2 = 24.

Now that we have determined that the total number of candies is 24, we can calculate the ratio of blue candies to the total candies by dividing the number of blue candies by the total number of candies.

So, the ratio of blue candies to the total candies is 2/24.

To simplify this ratio, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.

Dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, we get 1/12.

Therefore, the simplified ratio of blue candies to total candies is 1/12.
