• 4/6 means the circle is divided into 6 equal slices and four of them are shaded.
• 4 and 6 both divide by 2, so 4/6 simplifies to 2/3 — 4 ÷ 2 = 2 and 6 ÷ 2 = 3.
• To turn 4/6 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 4 ÷ 6 is about 0.667. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, about 66.7%.
• The unshaded part is 2/6, because 4/6 and 2/6 add up to one whole.
