• 6/9 means the bar is divided into 9 equal parts and six of them are shaded.
• 6 and 9 both divide by 3, so 6/9 simplifies to 2/3 — 6 ÷ 3 = 2 and 9 ÷ 3 = 3.
• To turn 6/9 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 6 ÷ 9 is about 0.667. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 66.7%.
• The unshaded part is 3/9, because 6/9 and 3/9 add up to one whole.
