From your explanation, your rectangle is split into 7 sections.
The total is 7.
Your denominator is 7.
If you counted all 7 sections, your fraction would be 7/7=1=100%,
that is it would be the whole rectangle.
You only want the red sections. How many out of 7 are colored red.
Number of red sections is 3.
Fraction of red sections to total sections is 3/7.
