A value like 12/51, or about 23.53%, might describe how many students in a class ride the bus or how many items in a survey got a certain response. It’s a little less than one out of every four.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people: about 24 would fit this share. It’s close to a quarter, but slightly smaller.
