Answer
Express the shaded amount as a single fraction, which is \(\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}\).
Step 1 ：Identify the number of whole circles shaded, which is 3.
Step 2 ：Identify the part of another circle shaded, which is half of the circle.
Step 3 ：Express the shaded amount as a mixed number, which is \(3\frac{1}{2}\).
Step 4 ：Convert the mixed number to a single fraction by multiplying the whole number (3) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and adding the numerator of the fraction (1), which gives us 7.
Step 5 ：Express the shaded amount as a single fraction, which is \(\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}\).
