Question

A jar of 70 candies has the following colors: 28 orange, 7 white, 14 brown, and 21 yellow.
What is the probability of randomly drawing an orange candy?

Answer 1

The probability of randomly drawing an orange candy is $\dfrac{\text{\# of orange candies}}{\text{\# of total candies}} = \dfrac{28}{70} = \boxed{\dfrac{2}{5}}$.
