A share of 1/18, or about 5.56%, can show up when a small group is part of a larger one. For example, if 1 out of 18 students in a club rides the bus, that’s roughly this fraction of the club.

To picture it quickly, imagine 18 equal slices of a whole and focus on just one slice. It’s a little more than 1/20 of the whole, so it’s just over 5%.
