• 1/8 means the circle is divided into 8 equal slices and one of them is shaded.
• 1 and 8 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 1/8 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 1/8 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 12.5%.
• The unshaded part is 7/8, because 1/8 and 7/8 add up to one whole.
