No! Since you're showing part of a whole circle, the fraction must be between 0 and 1. If you get a fraction greater than 1, you've switched the numerator and denominator.
Start at any point on the circle and count each section one by one as you go around. Each region enclosed by lines is one section. Don't count the same area twice!
When you divide: . This decimal confirms that less than half the circle is shaded, which matches what you see visually.
