Answer :

So, [tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex] of her photos are of nature, how many are not of nature? the rest, that is 1-[tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex] =[tex] \frac{7}{7} [/tex] -[tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{4}{7} [/tex]

So, [tex] \frac{4}{7} [/tex]  of her photos are not of nature.
this i what "the rest"in the question refers to

so, now
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]   of "the rest", that is of [tex] \frac{4}{7} [/tex] are of her friends. How many is that?

we have to multiply
[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] *[tex] \frac{4}{7} [/tex]

we simplyfy and we get
[tex] \frac{1}{7} [/tex]  - this is the correct answer!





¹/₇

Further explanation

Given:

Sarah has a photography blog.

  • [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] of her photos are of nature.
  • [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the rest are of her friends.

Question:

What fraction of all Sarah's photos is of her friends?

The Process:

Let us draw a 7 unit diagram that represents all of Sarah's photos.

[tex]\boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} = 7 \ units[/tex]

This number 7 comes from the denominator in a fraction of [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex].

  • [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] of her photos are of nature or 3 of 7 units.
  • [tex]Nature: \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ}[/tex]

The rest is 7 - 3 = 4 units.

[tex]The \ rest: \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ} \ \boxed{\circ}\ \boxed{\circ}[/tex]

  • [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the rest are of her friends or 1 of 4 units from the rest.
  • [tex]Her \ friends: \boxed{\circ}[/tex]

Look at the diagram of 1 unit from her friends above, representing 1 of 7 units in total.

Thus, [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] of all of Sarah's photos are of her friends.

Quick Steps

[tex]\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{4} \times \bigg( 1 - \frac{3}{7} \bigg) = \ ? \ }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times \bigg( \frac{7}{7} - \frac{3}{7} \bigg) \ }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{7} \ }[/tex]

We crossed out 4 and 4.

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{7} \ }}[/tex]
