Answer:

seventeen out of twenty

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase that describes this probability would be

seventeen out of twenty

This is because the bag has a total of 20 candies ( 3 strawberry chews and 17 cherry chews). If he randomly chooses one from the bag, he has a 17/20 chance of getting a cherry chew because there are 17 total cherry chews in the bag. If we were to change this fraction into a phrase it would be the phrase above in bold.
