Answer:

There are 30 + 40 = 70 sections reserved for orange and blue tiles. This means there are 100 - 70 = 30 sections left for other colors.

To express the fraction of the mosaic wall left for other colors, we can write:

30 sections left / 100 total sections = 3/10

Therefore, the fraction of the mosaic wall left for other colors is 3/10.
