12/602 = ≈1.99%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 12/602 can describe a small share of a larger group, such as 12 defective products in a shipment of 602 or 12 people in a survey group of 602. This is about 1.99%, so it represents only a very small portion of the whole.
To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people standing together: roughly 2 of them would represent this amount. You can also think of it as about 1 out of every 50 items, which makes the size easier to estimate.
A common mistake is to treat 1.99% as if it were close to 19.9% because the digits look similar. It is actually less than 2%, so it describes a much smaller share than about one-fifth of the total.
