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: Analyze the first circle

The first circle is fully - shaded and divided into 6 equal parts, so it represents $\frac{6}{6}$.

Step2: Analyze the second circle

The second circle is divided into 6 equal parts and 1 part is shaded, so it represents $\frac{1}{6}$.

Step3: Calculate the total shaded amount as a single fraction

Add the fractions of the two circles: $\frac{6}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{6 + 1}{6}=\frac{7}{6}$.

Step4: Convert to a mixed number

Divide 7 by 6. $7\div6 = 1$ with a remainder of 1. So the mixed - number is $1\frac{1}{6}$.

Answer:

One Fraction: $\frac{7}{6}$
Mixed Number: $1\frac{1}{6}$
