Assume that each circle shown below represent one unit express the shaded amount as a single fraction and as a mixed number

Sagot :

One fraction: 5/2.

Mixed-fraction: 2 1/2.

In the question, we are asked to assume that each circle shown below represents one unit, and are asked to express the shaded amount as a single fraction and a mixed fraction.

The given circle is divided into 8 equal parts.

In the first circle, all 8 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 8/8.

In the second circle, all 8 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 8/8.

In the third circle, 4 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 4/8.

Thus, the total shaded part can be calculated by adding:

8/8 + 8/8 + 4/8,

= (8 + 8 + 4)/8

= 20/8

= 5/2 {Cancelling off by 4}.

Thus, one fraction is 5/2.

To convert this to a mixed fraction, we divide 5 by 2, write the quotient as the whole part, the remainder as the numerator, and 2 as the denominator.

5÷2 gives quotient 2, and remainder 1.

Thus, the mixed-fraction is 2 1/2.
