• 8/10 means the bar is divided into 10 equal parts and eight of them are shaded.
• 8 and 10 both divide by 2, so 8/10 simplifies to 4/5 — 8 ÷ 2 = 4 and 10 ÷ 2 = 5.
• To turn 8/10 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 8 ÷ 10 = 0.8. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 80%.
• The unshaded part is 2/10, because 8/10 and 2/10 add up to one whole.
