Answer:

11/8

Explanation:

Firstly, one whole piece is shaded so that is 1.

Then, the other piece is 3/8.

The mixed number would be 1 3/8.

Now convert this to a improper fraction.

Multiply the denominator and the whole number. 1 * 8 = 8

Then the product of that, add that to the numerator, 8 + 3 = 11

So you get 11. That would be the numerator of the improper fraction. The denomintaor stays the same.

So you would get, 11/8

The fourth choice.

Answer:

11/8

Explanation:

If we look at each bar, we can see that it is split into 8 pieces.

This means our improper fraction will be over 8.

Now, we want to count the red blocks.

There are 11.

This means that our fraction is 11/8.

Hope this helps!
