5/10

• 5/10 means the circle is divided into 10 equal slices and five of them are shaded.
• 5 and 10 both divide by 5, so 5/10 simplifies to 1/2 — 5 ÷ 5 = 1 and 10 ÷ 5 = 2.
• To turn 5/10 into a decimal, divide the top by the bottom: 5 ÷ 10 = 0.5. Multiply that by 100 for the percentage, 50%.
• The unshaded part is 5/10, because 5/10 and 5/10 add up to one whole.
