Let's dive into it! Rob owns \( \frac{3}{7} \) of the stock, and Talia owns half of that amount. To find Talia's share, we calculate: \[ \text{Talia's stock} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{3}{14} \] Next, we need to find the total stock owned by both Rob and Talia: \[ \text{Total owned by Rob and Talia} = \frac{3}{7} + \frac{3}{14} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 14: \[ \frac{3}{7} = \frac{6}{14} \] So, \[ \text{Total stock owned} = \frac{6}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{9}{14} \] Now, to find the part of the stock owned by neither Rob nor Talia, we subtract the total they own from the whole stock (which is represented by 1, or \( \frac{14}{14} \)): \[ \text{Stock owned by neither} = 1 - \frac{9}{14} = \frac{14}{14} - \frac{9}{14} = \frac{5}{14} \] Thus, the part of the stock that is owned by neither Rob nor Talia is \( \frac{5}{14} \).
