• 3/10 means the bar is divided into 10 equal parts and three of them are shaded.
• 3 and 10 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 3/10 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 3/10 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 3 ÷ 10 = 0.3. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 30%.
• The unshaded part is 7/10, because 3/10 and 7/10 add up to one whole.
