  • Paper
  • Answer

Melinda has three empty boxes and 1212 textbooks, three of which are mathematics textbooks. One box will hold any three of her textbooks, one will hold any four of her textbooks, and one will hold any five of her textbooks. If Melinda packs her textbooks into these boxes in random order, the probability that all three mathematics textbooks end up in the same box can be written as mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
