• 2/6 means the circle is divided into 6 equal slices and two of them are shaded.
• 2 and 6 both divide by 2, so 2/6 simplifies to 1/3 — 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 6 ÷ 2 = 3.
• To turn 2/6 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 2 ÷ 6 is about 0.333. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 33.3%.
• The unshaded part is 4/6, because 2/6 and 4/6 add up to one whole.
