Answer:


13/28

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the shaded area

we know that


x+(1)/(4)+(2)/(7)=1

Because the complete circle represent the
100\%

and


100\%=100/100=1

solve for x

Multiply by
28 both sides


28x+7+8=28


28x=28-15


28x=13

Divide by
28 both sides


x=13/28 ----> fraction irreducible
