Respuesta :

Answer:

The fraction is [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> fraction of the DVDs in Andy’s collection that is not “action” or “comedy”

we know that

The 100% of the collection is equal to

100%=100/100=1

so

[tex]1=x+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=1-\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{4} \\ \\x=\frac{20-4*3-5*1}{20}\\ \\x=\frac{3}{20}[/tex]
