A value like 10/79, or about 12.66%, might describe the share of customers who choose a certain option or the portion of a class that rides the bus. It’s a little less than one person in eight.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 small squares with about 13 shaded in. It’s also close to one-eighth, which is 12.5%, so you can think of it as roughly one out of every eight.

A common mix-up is treating 12.66% as an exact count of people rather than a share. The actual number of people depends on the total, and rounding it to 13% is only an estimate.
