Answer:

The fraction of the rebounds the rest of the team get was 13/72 (13 out of the 72 total)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob gets 4/9

Adam gets 3/8

Since the given fraction provided doesn't have common denominator we would need to do thos first...

4/9 x 8/8 = 32/72

3/8 x 9/9 = 27/72

combining Adam and Jacob rebounds...

32/72 + 27/72 = 59/72

so the remaining, uncounted rebounds are...

72 - 59 = 13
