In the confectionery set, 2/5 of all candies are caramel, the rest are chocolate. What fraction of the amount of chocolates is caramel? How many times are there more chocolates than caramels?

Let’s find out how much of all the chocolates are chocolates.

1 – 2/5 = 5/5 – 2/5 = 3/5.

Let’s find out what part of the chocolates is caramel. To do this, divide the amount of caramel by the number of chocolates.

2/5: 3/5 = 2/5 * 5/3 = 2/3.

Let’s find how many times there are more chocolates than caramel. To do this, divide the number of chocolates by the amount of caramel.

3/5: 2/5 = 3/5 * 5/2 = 3/2 = 1.5.

Answer: caramel is 2/3 of the amount of chocolates. There are 1.5 times more chocolates than caramel.
