Question

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

Answer 1

Shaded area = 1 - Un-shaded area
S. area = 1 - (1/2 + 1/7)
S. area = 1 - (7+2) /14
S. area = 1 - 9/14
S. area = 5/14

So, your final answer is 5/14

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$5/14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the shaded area

we know that

$x+\frac{1}{7}=\frac{1}{2}$

solve for x

Multiply by $14$ both sides

$14x+2=7$

$14x=7-2$

$14x=5$

Divide by $14$ both sides

$x=5/14$ ----> fraction irreducible
