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: Determine total parts

Each circle is divided into 10 parts. The first circle is fully - shaded (10 parts) and the second circle has 7 shaded parts. So the total number of shaded parts is \(10 + 7=17\) parts, and the total number of parts in one circle is 10.

Step2: Express as a single fraction

The single - fraction is \(\frac{17}{10}\) since the number of shaded parts is 17 and the number of parts in one unit (circle) is 10.

Step3: Express as a mixed number

To convert \(\frac{17}{10}\) to a mixed number, divide 17 by 10. \(17\div10 = 1\) with a remainder of 7. So the mixed number is \(1\frac{7}{10}\).

Answer:

One Fraction: \(\frac{17}{10}\)
Mixed Number: \(1\frac{7}{10}\)
