Question

assume that each circle shown below represents one unit. express the shaded amount as a single fraction and as a mixed number. answer attempt 1 out of 2 one fraction: mixed number:

Explanation:

Step1: Count total parts

Each circle is divided into 6 parts. There are 3 circles, so total parts = 3×6 = 18.

Step2: Count shaded parts

The first two circles are fully - shaded (2×6 = 12 parts) and the third circle has 5 shaded parts. So total shaded parts = 12 + 5=17.

Step3: Find the fraction

The fraction of the shaded amount is $\frac{17}{18}$ as a single fraction.

Step4: Find the mixed - number

Since 17÷6 = 2 remainder 5, the mixed number is $2\frac{5}{6}$.

Answer:

One Fraction: $\frac{17}{18}$
Mixed Number: $2\frac{5}{6}$
