If 5/17 of a región is shaded how much isnt
12/17
what is 12/17?
part that isn't shaded
To find out how much of the region is not shaded, we need to subtract the shaded part (5/17) from the whole region (1).
The equation to calculate the unshaded part is:
Unshaded part = 1 - Shaded part
In this case, the shaded part is 5/17.
So, the equation becomes:
Unshaded part = 1 - 5/17
To simplify, we need a common denominator. Since 17 is a prime number, the common denominator is 17 itself.
Unshaded part = 17/17 - 5/17
Now we can do the calculation:
Unshaded part = (17 - 5)/17
Unshaded part = 12/17
Therefore, 12/17 of the region is not shaded.
