• 3/5 means the circle is divided into 5 equal slices and three of them are shaded.
• 3 and 5 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 3/5 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 3/5 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 60%.
• The unshaded part is 2/5, because 3/5 and 2/5 add up to one whole.
