• 2/9 means the bar is divided into 9 equal parts and two of them are shaded.
• 2 and 9 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 2/9 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 2/9 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 2 ÷ 9 is about 0.222. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 22.2%.
• The unshaded part is 7/9, because 2/9 and 7/9 add up to one whole.
