Jon filled 1/3 of his garden with daffodils, 2/9 of his garden with lilies, 2/7 of his garden with tulips. What fraction of his garden does he have left?

First, change the denominators of the fractions to match.

The LCM of 3, 7, and 9 is 63

21/63, 18/63, 14/63

21+18+14=53

63-53 = 10

Jon has 10/63 left
