13/48 = ≈27.08%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 13/48, or about 27.08%, can show up when comparing part of a group to the whole. For example, if 13 out of 48 students choose basketball as their favorite sport, roughly a little more than one-fourth of the class prefers it.
To picture 13/48 quickly, think of one-fourth, which is 12/48. Since 13/48 is just one part larger, it is slightly more than 25%, or about 27%.
A common mistake is treating 13/48 as exactly 25% because it is close to one-fourth. It is also important not to confuse the numerator and denominator: 13 is the part being counted, while 48 is the total group.
