• 7/8 means the bar is divided into 8 equal parts and seven of them are shaded.
• 7 and 8 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 7/8 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 7/8 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 87.5%.
• The unshaded part is 1/8, because 7/8 and 1/8 add up to one whole.
