To find one-tenth of a number we divide it by 10. 1/10 pieces of the pie are shaded.

Example:

1/10  of 10 = 1    This is the same as saying 10 divided by 10

1/10  of 20 = 2    This is the same as saying 20 divided by 10

If we shade 2 parts of the pie, it would look like this in fractions: 2/10 

3 shaded parts would be 3/10 and so on.
