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 2 out of 2 one fraction: mixed number:

Explanation:

Step1: Count total and shaded parts

Each circle is divided into 8 parts. There are 4 circles in total, so 4×8 = 32 parts in all. The shaded parts are 3 full - circles (3×8 = 24) plus 5 parts of the fourth circle, so 24 + 5=29 shaded parts.

Step2: Express as a single fraction

The single fraction is $\frac{29}{8}$ since the number of shaded parts is 29 and the total number of equal parts is 8.

Step3: 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: $\frac{29}{8}$
Mixed Number: $3\frac{5}{8}$
