Hi!
To solve this, we need to write an equation.
Obviously there are 7 candies in the bowl.
[tex] \frac{4}{7} + \frac{1}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7} [/tex]
Add
[tex] \frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7} [/tex]
Subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation to find x.
[tex] \frac{5}{7} - \frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7} - \frac{5}{7} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{7} = \frac{2}{7} [/tex]
x = 2
The answer is [tex] \frac{2}{7} [/tex]
Hope this helps! :)
