Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the unshaded parts and subtract the result from 1 ( whole circle )

$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{9}$ ( the LCM of 2 and 9 is 18 )

= $\frac{9(1)}{9(2)}$ + $\frac{2(1)}{2(9)}$

= $\frac{9}{18}$ + $\frac{2}{18}$

= $\frac{11}{18}$

shaded = 1 - $\frac{11}{18}$ = $\frac{18}{18}$ - $\frac{11}{18}$ = $\frac{7}{18}$
