I believe it would be 4/15 since science books are 6/15 and fiction accounts for 5/15

To tackle this question, I would begin by identifying a common denominator for both fractions.

5/15

6/15

This will enable us to calculate the number of books remaining.

By adding 5/15 and 6/15, we arrive at 11/15.

Out of the total, 11/15 represent science and biography genres, while the remaining 4/15 are categorized as fiction.
