• 1/6 means the circle is divided into 6 equal slices and one of them is shaded.
• 1 and 6 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 1/6 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 1/6 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 1 ÷ 6 is about 0.167. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 16.7%.
• The unshaded part is 5/6, because 1/6 and 5/6 add up to one whole.
