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: blank mixed number: blank

Explanation:

Step1: Count total parts and shaded parts

Each circle is divided into 10 parts. There are 4 circles in total, so 40 parts in all. The first 3 circles are fully - shaded (30 parts) and the fourth circle has 7 shaded parts. So, there are 30 + 7=37 shaded parts out of 40.
The single - fraction is $\frac{37}{10}$.

Step2: Convert to mixed number

To convert $\frac{37}{10}$ to a mixed number, divide 37 by 10. 37÷10 = 3 with a remainder of 7. So the mixed number is $3\frac{7}{10}$.

Answer:

One Fraction: $\frac{37}{10}$
Mixed Number: $3\frac{7}{10}$
