Answer:

Brandon has
(3)/(7) of the chocolate left with him.

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify the fractions
Colton is given one of the seven pieces, so he has
(1)/(7) of the chocolate.

Jill is given three of the seven pieces, so she has
(3)/(7) of the chocolate.

Brandon himself had seven pieces at the beginning, so he had
(7)/(7) (the whole) of the chocolate.

Step 2: Do calculations with the fractions

Collectively, Colton and Jill have taken:

$(1)/(7)+(3)/(7)\\\\\text{Add the fractions:}\\(1+3)/(7)\\\\\text{Calculate:}\\(4)/(7)~\text{of the chocolate}$

So, the fraction that Brandon has currently is:

$(7)/(7)-(4)/(7)\\\\\text{Subtract the fractions:}\\(7-4)/(7)\\\\\text{Calculate:}\\(3)/(7)$

Brandon has
(3)/(7) of the chocolate left with him.
