Question Assume that each circle shown below represents one unit. Express the shaded amount as a single fraction and as a mixed number. Answer Attempt 2 out of 2 One Fraction: 1 I Mixed Number: Submit Answer

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 \(\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}\).
