• 3/7 means the bar is divided into 7 equal parts and three of them are shaded.
• 3 and 7 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 3/7 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 3/7 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 3 ÷ 7 is about 0.429. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 42.9%.
• The unshaded part is 4/7, because 3/7 and 4/7 add up to one whole.
