i think it is spearmint 9/24 and cinammon 8/24
so 17/24 is one or the other.
Reply:cinnamon or spearmint refers to both so you just add the two fractions together. Make the fractions have a common denominator. So 1/3 can turn into 8/24 and 3/8 can turn into 9/24. Add the numerators so you get 17/24. Therefore the fraction of candy either cinnamon or spearment is 17/24
Reply:17/24ths?
