Answer: 3/50 ballots cast for someone other than Candidate A or Candidate B.

Explanation:

The fraction of ballots cast for someone other than Candidate A or Candidate B would be 1-12/25-23/50=1-24/50-23/50= 1- 47/50

This equals 3/50 ballots cast for someone other than Candidate A or Candidate B.
