Fraction of a chance

The Pentagons have been learning how to find chance of something happening. 

We had a box of skittles and had to work out what the chance was of choosing our best flavour.

Question: What skittles could be in the box if there is 1/3 of a chance you choose your favourite colour?

There was lots of problem solving. 

Question: There is 1/4 of a chance to choose your favouite.

Here are some combinations of skittles.

Question

We had a tricky problem. There were 32 skittles 1/4 of the bag is your favourite colour and there are 5 different coloured skittles.

Who got their favourite colour?
