• 1/7 means the bar is divided into 7 equal parts and one of them is shaded.
• 1 and 7 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 1/7 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 1/7 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 1 ÷ 7 is about 0.143. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 14.3%.
• The unshaded part is 6/7, because 1/7 and 6/7 add up to one whole.
