A fraction like 138/1997, or about 6.91%, can describe a small share of a large group in everyday life. For example, it could represent customers who choose a certain product, students who join a club, or survey respondents who give a particular answer.

To picture 6.91% quickly, think of about 7 out of every 100 people or items. It is a little less than one-tenth, so you can estimate it as a small slice of a whole rather than a nearly equal share.
