Una has a collection of insects: 1/4 are butterflies, 2/7 are moths, and the rest are beetles.

1 -1/4 - 2/7  = betles

1-7/28- 8/28 = beetles

28/28 - 7/28 - 8/28 = 13/28 are beetles

13/28+7/28+8/28 = 1

You can't attach a number on the beetles, but just a fraction of Una's overall collection. That fraction comes to: 13/28 of her collection are beetles.
