Question

Fractional part of a circle.

I posted a picture. Please help would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

To find the remaining fraction and noting that the total is always 1 we can say:

r=1-1/2-3/8 to add subtract fractions you need a common denominator in this case 8 is the least common multiple so:

r=(8-4-3)/8

r=1/8

So 1/8 of the circle is shaded...

Answer 2

1/2=4/8  so 4/8+3/8=7/8 So the section is 1/8
