Answer:

1/4

Because 12+13 is 25 and 100 divided by 25 is 4 so its 1/4 hope this helps! :)

Solution:-


\rightarrowTotal number of red and green balloons
\sf{= 12+13}


\sf{= 25}


\rightarrowFraction of both green and red balloons
\sf{= (25)/(100)}


\sf{= (1)/(4)}


\rightarrowFraction of not green and red balloons
\sf{=\:1- (1)/(4)}


\sf{= (3)/(4)}


\rightarrow Therefore, fraction of not green and red balloons
\sf{= (3)/(4)}
