• 8/9 means the bar is divided into 9 equal parts and eight of them are shaded.
• 8 and 9 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 8/9 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 8/9 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 8 ÷ 9 is about 0.889. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 88.9%.
• The unshaded part is 1/9, because 8/9 and 1/9 add up to one whole.
