Ada and Emily are playing a game that ends when either player wins, after some number of rounds. Each round, either nobody wins, Ada wins, or Emily wins. The probability that neither player wins each round is $\frac{1}{5}$ and the probability that Emily wins the game as a whole is $\frac{3}{4}.$ If the probability that in a given round Emily wins is $\frac{m}{n}$ such that $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers, then find $m+n.$ [i]Proposed by Ada Tsui[/i]
