Assume that each circle shown below represents one unit. Express the shaded amount as a single fraction and as a mixed number. One Fraction: Mixed Number:

Answer:
• One Fraction: 15/4
,• Mixed Number: 3¾
Explanation:
There are 3 unit circles = 3.
The last circle is divided into 8 equal parts:
6 out of 8 parts are shaded = 6/8.
Therefore, the shaded amount as a mixed number is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =3+\frac{6}{8} \\ =3+\frac{3}{4} \\ =3\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Next, express the fraction as one fraction.
[tex]One\; Fraction=\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
