How much of the circle is shaded write your answer as a fraction in simplest form one for 1/4 2/7

Answer 1

The circle as a whole is one.

So to find the shaded area find a common denominators for both first

1/4 = 7/28

2/7= 8/28

Add the two together

7/28 + 8/28 = 15/28

This is the area taken up the the white fractions areas

Now because the circle is one

28/28 - 15/28 = 13/28

So the area of the blue is

13/28
