Answer

$\frac{98}{100}$

Work Step by Step

From the pie chart, it can be seen that the section labelled as "Parkways/Scenic Trails" is equal to $\frac{1}{50}$. Since the questions asks what fraction of areas are NOT national parkways or scenic trails, we can subtract the total number of parkways/scenic trails from the $\frac{100}{100}$ total, giving us $\frac{100}{100}$ - $\frac{1}{50}$ = $\frac{100}{100}$ - $\frac{2}{100}$ = $\frac{98}{100}$. Therefore, the answer is $\frac{98}{100}$.
