Answer:

3 squares

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is not complete, the diagram of the shape is supposed to be attached. But I would provide you with a diagram and show you how to solve this type of problem.

The diagram of the shape is attached below. Firstly, you have to count the number of squares in the shape. As it can been seen from the diagram, there are a total 18 squares (i.e 6 squares on each row × 3 squares on each column).

Secondly you have to find 1/6 of the total number of the squares in the shape. 1/6 of the total number of the square in the shape = 1/6 × 18 = 3 squares

Therefore 3 squares would have to be shaded so that 1/6 of the shape is shaded

Answer:

1 1/6 - 7 3/6 = -19/

= -6 1/

≅ -6.3333333

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 1 1/

to a improper fraction: 1 1/6 = 1 1/

= 1 · 6 + 1/

= 6 + 1/

= 7/

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 6. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 6/

= 6/

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 6 + 1 = 7

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 6.

One and one sixth is seven sixths

Conversion a mixed number 7 3/

to a improper fraction: 7 3/6 = 7 3/

= 7 · 6 + 3/

= 42 + 3/

= 45/

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 7 by the denominator 6. Whole number 7 equally 7 * 6/

= 42/

b) Add the answer from previous step 42 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 42 + 3 = 45

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 45) over the denominator 6.

Seven and three sixths is forty-five sixths

Subtract: 7/

- 45/

= 7 - 45/

= -38/

= 2 · -19/

2 · 3

= -19/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(6, 6) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 6 × 6 = 36. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - seven sixths minus forty-five sixths = minus nineteen thirds.
