Be aware that they have the same denominator so there won't be any finding lcd's
Also, the survey was duplicated, so 2x

The answer you put is incorrect.

Round Chocolate Candy: $$\frac{ 5 }{ 19 }$$

Hard Candy: $$\frac{ 3 }{ 19 }$$

The value of the denominators(the value on the bottom) is the same, so all you need to do is subtract the numerators.

$$5 - 3 = ?$$
