Question

How much of the circle is shaded? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form? 3/7 and 1/3 isn't shaded ​

Answer 1

`(5)/(14)`

Explanation:

Half the circle ( to the left ) is partly shaded

shaded part =
`(1)/(2)` -
`(1)/(7)` =
`(7)/(14)` -
`(2)/(14)` =
`(5)/(14)`

Answer 2

`total = 1 \\ (1)/(2) + (1)/(7) + x = 1 \\ (1)/(7) + x = 1 - (1)/(2) \\ (1)/(7) + x = (1)/(2) \\ x = (1)/(2) - (1)/(7) \\ x = (7 - 2)/(7 * 2) \\ x = (5)/(14) \\ \\ shaded \: portin \: = (5)/(14) \\ thank \: you`
