submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Count total parts

Each circle is divided into 8 parts, and there are 4 circles, so total parts = 4×8 = 32.

Step2: Count shaded parts

The first 3 circles are fully - shaded (3×8 = 24 parts) and the fourth circle has 5 shaded parts. So total shaded parts = 24 + 5=29.

Step3: Express as a single fraction

The single - fraction is $\frac{29}{32}$.

Step4: Express as a mixed number

Divide 29 by 8. 29÷8 = 3 with a remainder of 5. So the mixed number is $3\frac{5}{8}$.

Answer:

One Fraction: $\frac{29}{32}$
Mixed Number: $3\frac{5}{8}$
