    A bag has 3 red, 5 blue, and 2 yellow pieces of candy. What is the theoretical probability of drawing a blue piece of candy

    P(Blue) = Blue Candies / Total Candies
    P(Blue) = 5 / (3 + 5 + 2)
    P(Blue) = 5 / 10

    We can simplify this using our GCF calculator and we get:
    P(Blue) = 1/2
