When you change 11/53 to a percent you get 20.75%. This is the rounded value you’ll see most often in tables and reports.
The fraction 11/53 means you have 11 parts out of a total of 53 equal parts. It’s a little less than one quarter, which is why the percentage is a bit under 25%.
In everyday situations, you might see this percentage used to describe a small share of a group, like 11 out of 53 students who chose a particular answer on a quiz.
Remember, the bolded number is the quick way to communicate the size of that share in everyday language.
