Question

How much of the circle is shaded?!?

Answer 1

We use one whole to take away 1/7 part and 1/3 part to find the remaining part which is shaded:


`1 - (1)/(7) - (1)/(3)`

Convert all the fractions to the same denominator, LCD being 21:

`= (21)/(21) - (3)/(21) - (7)/(21)`

Combine them:

`= (21-3-7)/(21)`

Simplify them:

`= (11)/(21)`


`\boxed { \boxed {\text {Answer : } (11)/(21) \text { of the circle is shaded.}}}`

Answer 2

1/7 plus 1/3 is 10/21, and 21 minus 10 is 11 so it's 11/21
