Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 action+4 comedy+3 drama= 12 total movies

12 will be the denominator of our fraction.

The question asks: What is the probability that the movie she selects is NOT a drama?

So, we add the number of action and comedy movies.

5+4=9

9 is our numerator.

But wait! We have to simplify the fraction 9/12!

9 divided by 3= 3

12 divided by 3= 4

Reduced answer: 3/4
