Mike put sports books on 1/3 of his bookshelf. He put history books on 1/4 of the bookshelf . What fraction of the bookshelf did not have sports books on it
He put 1/3 of his sports books on the shelf. Ignore the 1/4 and focus on how much space the sports books are not taking up which would be 1-1/3=2/3 or 66.67%.
