Fraction of the circle that is shaded = (7/12)

Step-by-step explanation

Let the fraction of the circle shaded be x

We know that the entire section of the circle has a magnitude of 1

So, we can write mathematically that

x + ¼ + (1/6) = 1

x = 1 - ¼ - (1/6)

Taking the LCM of the terms on the right hand side

1 = (12/12)

¼ = (3/12)

(1/6) = (2/12)

x = 1 - ¼ - (1/6)

x = (12/12) - (3/12) - (2/12)

x = (12 - 3 - 2)/12

x = (7/12)

Hope this Helps!!!
