Answer:

9/12 or 75%.

Explanation:

Let's first add the choices all up.

5+4+3= 12.

We have 12 movie choices in total.

Now, we know that we have 3 drama movie choices...so the chance we will choose drama is 3/12, but we are not finding that. We want the chance she will NOT choose drama, so that would be 9/12.

*Since the chance she will choose drama is 3/12, the chance she will not choose is 9/12. 9+3 is 12, the total amout.*
