A fraction like 1/130 can show up when a small number of people in a large group experience something, such as a rare side effect or a delivery problem. It represents about 0.77%, so it is uncommon but not impossible.

To picture it quickly, imagine choosing one person from a group of 130 people. You could also estimate it as roughly 1 person out of every 100 to 150, which makes it easier to understand without focusing on the exact decimal.

A common mistake is to treat 1/130 as if it were 1/13, which is ten times larger. Another point of confusion is that “about 0.77%” is an estimate, so rounding may make the percentage look slightly different from the exact fraction.
