• 3/8 means the circle is divided into 8 equal slices and three of them are shaded.
• 3 and 8 share no common factor bigger than 1, so 3/8 is already in its simplest form.
• To turn 3/8 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 37.5%.
• The unshaded part is 5/8, because 3/8 and 5/8 add up to one whole.
