One fraction: 5/2.
Mixed-fraction: 2 1/2.
In the question, we are asked to assume that each circle shown below represents one unit, and are asked to express the shaded amount as a single fraction and a mixed fraction.
The given circle is divided into 8 equal parts.
In the first circle, all 8 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 8/8.
In the second circle, all 8 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 8/8.
In the third circle, 4 parts are shaded, shown by the fraction, 4/8.
Thus, the total shaded part can be calculated by adding:
8/8 + 8/8 + 4/8,
= (8 + 8 + 4)/8
= 20/8
= 5/2 {Cancelling off by 4}.
Thus, one fraction is 5/2.
To convert this to a mixed fraction, we divide 5 by 2, write the quotient as the whole part, the remainder as the numerator, and 2 as the denominator.
5÷2 gives quotient 2, and remainder 1.
Thus, the mixed-fraction is 2 1/2.
