Question

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

Answer 1

13/24

Explanation:

1-11/24

=

13/24

Answer 2

13/24

Explanation:

First we create a common denominator by multiplying the denominators of 8 and 3 to get 24. Now we convert the two given fractions

`(1)/(8) = (3)/(24)`

`(1)/(3) = (8)/(24)`

A full circle is 24/24. Now all we do is subtract

`(24)/(24) - (8)/(24) - (3)/(24) = (13)/(24)`
