11/20 = 55%
The fraction 11/20 represents 55%, a little more than half. You might see a value like this when 11 out of 20 students choose the same lunch, 11 out of 20 questions are answered correctly, or a product is marked as 55% complete.
To picture 11/20 quickly, imagine a bar divided into 20 equal parts with 11 shaded. It is just past the halfway point, so estimating it as about one-half can help, while remembering that it is slightly greater.
A common mistake is thinking 11/20 is less than one-half because 11 is a small number compared with 20. Since half of 20 is 10, having 11 parts means the fraction is actually just above half.
