Becky found $2.00 in her back pocket when she got dressed this morning. She went to the grocery store with her mom and bought a large bag of Skittles. When she got home, she sorted them by color. The chart below shows how many of each color she had.

Red 20
Orange 20
Yellow 17
Green 13
Purple 10

She ate all of her red and purple Skittles first. What fraction of her Skittles did she eat? Simplify the fraction, if possible
3/8?

She then ate half of the remaining Skittles and saved the rest. What fraction of the bag of Skittles did she save? Simplify the fraction,if possible
I don't know how to solve this problem

After eating the red and purple candies, she had 5/8 or 50 left.

1/2 * 50 = 25

25/80 = ?

On the 1st question is it 3/8? Cause what I did was add 20 and 10 then I got 30. Than I added all the skittles and got 80 so the fraction was 30/80 and I simplified that to 3/8.

To find the fraction of Skittles that Becky ate, you need to add up the number of red and purple Skittles she had and divide it by the total number of Skittles in the bag.

To get this information, you can add the number of red and purple Skittles provided in the chart: 20 (red) + 10 (purple) = 30.

Next, you need to find the total number of Skittles that Becky had in the bag before she started eating. You can do this by adding up the number of each color provided in the chart: 20 (red) + 20 (orange) + 17 (yellow) + 13 (green) + 10 (purple) = 80.

So, the fraction of Skittles that Becky ate is 30/80.

To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 30 and 80 is 10.

By dividing both the numerator and denominator of the fraction 30/80 by 10, you can simplify it to 3/8.

Therefore, Becky ate 3/8 of her Skittles.

To find the fraction of Skittles that she saved, you need to subtract the fraction she ate (3/8) from 1 (the whole). This is because if she ate 3/8, the rest must be what she saved.

To subtract fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.

So, 1 - 3/8 = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8.

Therefore, Becky saved 5/8 of her Skittles.

To summarize:
1. Becky ate 3/8 of her Skittles.
2. Becky saved 5/8 of her Skittles.
