10/48 = ≈20.83%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 10/48, or about 20.83%, can show up when 10 out of 48 people choose a particular option in a survey. It could also describe 10 successful shots out of 48 attempts, or 10 occupied seats in a section with 48 seats.
To picture 10/48 quickly, think of it as a little more than one-fifth of the whole. Since one-fifth is 20%, 10/48 is just slightly higher, so shading about one out of every five equal parts gives a useful estimate.
A common mistake is to treat 10/48 as exactly 20% instead of recognizing that it is a little larger. Another point of confusion is thinking the numbers must be compared separately; the fraction describes 10 parts out of a total of 48 parts.
