• 5/7 means the bar is divided into 7 equal parts and five of them are shaded.
• 5 and 7 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 5/7 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 5/7 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 5 ÷ 7 is about 0.714. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 71.4%.
• The unshaded part is 2/7, because 5/7 and 2/7 add up to one whole.
