• 1/12 means the bar is divided into 12 equal parts and one of them is shaded.
• 1 and 12 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 1/12 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 1/12 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 1 ÷ 12 is about 0.083. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 8.3%.
• The unshaded part is 11/12, because 1/12 and 11/12 add up to one whole.
