The problem is two circles that each circle has 4 sections. One cirlce is completely shaded and the other circle has 3 of the four sections shaded. There are a total of 8 sections between the two circles and 7 of the sections are shaded in. So would the fraction be 7/8?
The options for the answer are A) 7/4 B) 3/4 C) C) 1/7 and D) 7/8. I would say D.
write in standard form the equation of each line:
slope=3;(1,5)
Thank you for your response Tanya. I still don't understand though?
I don't understand your response.
Tanya's response was not a reply to your question, she asked her own question.
Your answer of 7/8 is correct.
Oh, ok. Thank you.
You are correct! The fraction of shaded sections out of the total sections between the two circles is indeed 7/8. Now, let me explain the reasoning behind this.
First, we have two circles, each divided into 4 sections. This means that in total, there are 2 circles * 4 sections per circle = 8 sections.
Next, you mentioned that one circle is completely shaded and the other circle has 3 out of 4 sections shaded. So, for the completely shaded circle, all 4 sections are shaded, while for the other circle, 3 sections out of 4 are shaded.
When we combine the two circles, we have a total of 8 sections and 7 of these sections are shaded (4 from the completely shaded circle + 3 from the partially shaded circle). Therefore, the fraction of shaded sections out of the total sections is 7/8.
Looking at the answer options, you are correct that the answer is D) 7/8.
