A value like 12/68, or about 17.65%, could describe 12 students out of a class or group of 68 choosing a certain option. It might also represent about 18 out of every 100 products, customers, or survey responses.

To picture it quickly, imagine dividing a group of 68 into roughly five equal parts. Twelve is a little less than one of those parts, so the fraction is just under one-fifth, or just under 20%.

A common mistake is to treat 12/68 as 12%, since the numerator is 12. The denominator matters too: 12 out of 68 is much larger than 12 out of 100, which is why the percentage is close to 18%.
