10/16 = 62.5%
A value of 62.5% can show up in everyday life when 10 out of 16 people choose a certain option, 10 of 16 seats are filled, or a project is 10/16 complete. It describes something that is more than half finished or selected, but not quite two-thirds.
To picture 10/16 quickly, imagine a row of 16 equal boxes with 10 shaded and 6 unshaded. You can also estimate it as a little more than 60%, which makes it easy to recognize as a solid majority.
A common mistake is to treat 62.5% as if it were 65% or 60% exactly. Another point of confusion is that 10/16 may look unfinished as a fraction, even though it represents the same amount as 5/8.
