Your answers to problems 1 and 3 are both correct. Nice work.
The fraction 0/25 can be reduced to 0; but it might be helpful to keep the fraction un-reduced.

Problem 2.
There are 4 green and 8 blue
4+8 = 12 are of either color mentioned.
12/25 is the probability of getting either of those colors (but not both at the same time) when selecting 1 M&M.
