Final answer:

The exact fractional part cannot be determined from the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fractional part of the whole paper that is taken up with news, not advertising, we need to determine the area of the entire paper available for printing this week's news. The paper measures 11 inches by 16 inches, so the total area is 11 x 16 = 176 square inches. Since we are only interested in the news section, we need to subtract the area taken up by advertising. However, the information provided does not specify the area of advertising, so we cannot determine the exact fractional part. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined from the given information.
