Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Rob owns $$ \frac{3}{7} $$ of the stock, and Talia owns half of that, which is:

$$
\text{Talia's ownership} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{3}{14}
$$

To find the total portion owned by both Rob and Talia, add their individual shares:

$$
\text{Total owned} = \frac{3}{7} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{6}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{9}{14}
$$

The part of the stock owned by neither Rob nor Talia is the remainder of the total stock:

$$
\text{Neither's ownership} = 1 - \frac{9}{14} = \frac{14}{14} - \frac{9}{14} = \frac{5}{14}
$$

**Answer:** $$\frac{5}{14}$$
$$\frac{5}{14}$$ of the stock is owned by neither Rob nor Talia.
