Answer:
3/8
Explanation:
In these type of problems, I like making all of my denominators the same.
1/8 is good.
1/2 is half. 4/8 is also half. I'll use 4/8 because 1/8 also has the 8
A whole circle is 100%, which is 1/1. It's also 8/8
To find the shaded area, we'll first add 1/8 and 4/8. That equals 5/8. We just have to add nominators/top now because the denominator/bottom is the same
Now we'll subtract 8/8 from 5/8. Again denominator is the same, so we only need to subtract the top
8-5=3
Also known as 3/8
