Math Problem Statement
The user uploaded an image showing two circles, each divided into 8 equal sections. The left circle has all 8 sections shaded, while the right circle has 6 sections shaded and 2 left unshaded. Determine the fraction of shaded sections in each circle.
Solution
The image you uploaded shows two circles, each divided into 8 equal sections:
- The left circle has all 8 sections shaded in pink, indicating that it is fully shaded.
- The right circle has 6 out of the 8 sections shaded in pink, with 2 sections left unshaded (white).
This suggests a visual representation of fractions:
- The left circle represents a whole, or , as all sections are shaded.
- The right circle represents , or when simplified, as 6 out of 8 sections are shaded.
