Answer: 1/3

Explanation:

Assume Jolene's DVDs are x.

Selena has twice as many DVDs as Jolene so Selena has 2x DVDs.

Jolene has 1/3 as many DVDs as Brodie which means that Brodie has 3 times as many DVDs as Jolene which is 3x.

Total DVDs = x + 2x + 3x

= 6x

Salena has 2x.

Fraction = 2x/6x

= 1/3
