White shapes and black shapes are used in a game. some of the shapes are circles all the other shapes are squares.the ratio of the number of white shapes to the number of black shapes is 5:11 the ratio of the number of white circles to the number of white squares is 3:7 the ratio of the number of black circles to the number of black squares is 3:8 work out what fraction of all the shapes are circles. :)

\huge\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\orange{W}\blue{E}\pink{R}}}}

FRACTION of all the SHAPES are circles=9/32

\huge\red{\underbrace{\overbrace{\ulcorner{\mid{\overline{\underline{EXPLANATION}}}}}}}

{\bf{\red{Find the equivalent ratio for the total shapes:}}}

{\bf{\green{total Black shapes: total white shapes}}}

{\bf{\green{=>5:11}}}

{\bf{\green{multiple by 2:}}}

{\bf{\green{=>10:22}}}

{\bf{\green{Ratio of the white shapes:}}}

{\bf{\green{White circles : white squares}}}

{\bf{\green{=>3:7}}}

{\bf{\green{sum of the units=3+7=>10}}}

{\bf{\pink{Find the equivalent ratio for the total shapes:}}}

{\bf{\blue{Black circles : Black squares }}}

{\bf{\blue{=>3:8}}}

{\bf{\blue{Multiple by 2:}}}

{\bf{\blue{=>6:16}}}

{\bf{\blue{sum of the units=6+16=>22}}}

{\bf{\green{Now combine the total ratios:}}}

{\bf{\orange{(white)circles:squares:(black)circles:squares}}}

{\bf{\orange{=>3:7:6:16}}}

{\bf{\orange{circles=3+6=>9 units}}}

{\bf{\orange{Total=3+7+6+16}}}

{\bf{\orange{Total=32 units}}}

{\bf{\blue{The fraction of all the shapes that are circles:}}}

{\bf{\red{Fraction=9/32}}}
