Question

How much of the circle is shaded? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form?

Answer 1

Shaded area = 1 - Un-shaded area
S. area = 1 - (1/2 + 1/7)
S. area = 1 - (7+2) /14
S. area = 1 - 9/14
S. area = 5/14

So, your final answer is 5/14

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`5/14`

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the shaded area

we know that

`x+(1)/(7)=(1)/(2)`

solve for x

Multiply by
`14` both sides

`14x+2=7`

`14x=7-2`

`14x=5`

Divide by
`14` both sides

`x=5/14` ----> fraction irreducible
