Question

Assume that each circle shown below represents one unit. Express the shaded amount as a single fraction and as a mixed number. One Fraction: Mixed Number:

Answer 1

• One Fraction: 15/4

,

• Mixed Number:​ 3¾

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 unit circles = 3.

The last circle is divided into 8 equal parts:

6 out of 8 parts are shaded = 6/8.

Therefore, the shaded amount as a mixed number is:

`\begin{gathered} =3+(6)/(8) \\ =3+(3)/(4) \\ =3(3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Next, express the fraction as one fraction.

`One\; Fraction=(15)/(4)`
