The bar chart provided shows the number of M&Ms in different colors. Here's the breakdown of the number of candies per color:

• Yellow: 10
• Orange: 7
• Red: 4
• Blue: 6
• Green: 7

To answer the questions:

1. What fraction of the candy was green? The total number of candies is the sum of all the candies: $10 \,(\text{yellow}) + 7 \,(\text{orange}) + 4 \,(\text{red}) + 6 \,(\text{blue}) + 7 \,(\text{green}) = 34$ The fraction of green candies is: $\frac{7}{34}$ Since 7 and 34 have no common factors other than 1, this is already in its simplest form.

2. What percent of the candy was green? To calculate the percentage, use the formula: $\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of green candies}}{\text{Total number of candies}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{7}{34}\right) \times 100 \approx 20.59\%$ Rounding to the nearest whole number, the percentage of green candies is approximately 21%.
