Answer:


(13)/(20) of the group's video games is either at Jeromes house or Marios house.

Explanation:

Given the statement: Jerome has 1/4 of the group's video games at his house.

Also,Mario has 2/5 of the group's video games at his house.

Jerome has group's video games at his house(J) =
(1)/(4)

and

Mario has group's video games at his house(M) =
(2)/(5)

To find the fraction of the group's video games is either at Jerome house or Mario house.

Between two they have =
J+M =
(1)/(4) + (2)/(5) = (5+8)/(20) =(13)/(20) of the group's video games.
