• 3/4 means the bar is divided into 4 equal parts and three of them are shaded.
• 3 and 4 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 3/4 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 3/4 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 75%.
• The unshaded part is 1/4, because 3/4 and 1/4 add up to one whole.
