11/26 as a percentage is 42.31%. This value tells you that the fraction represents just over four‑tenths of a whole. It’s a quick way to see the size of the fraction when you compare it to 100 parts.
In everyday terms, if you had 26 equal pieces of something and you took 11 of them, you would have taken about 42 out of every 100 pieces. That helps when you need to compare the fraction to other percentages, like a 50% discount or a 30% grade.
Remember that the 42.31% figure is rounded to two decimal places, so the exact decimal would be a little longer. For most practical uses—budgeting, scoring, or simple comparisons—this rounded percentage works perfectly.
