1/48 as a percentage is 2.08%. This tiny slice shows how a small part of a whole can be expressed in everyday language.
The fraction 1/48 means you have one piece out of forty‑eight equal pieces. If you line up all 48 pieces, the single piece you own represents just a little over two percent of the total.
In practical terms, 2.08% might be the interest rate on a short‑term loan, the portion of a budget allocated to a tiny expense, or the chance of drawing a specific card from a 48‑card deck. It’s a useful way to see how a very small fraction fits into larger numbers.
