A fraction like 14/47, or 29.79%, could describe how many people in a small group prefer a certain snack or how often a bus arrives late. It means 14 out of 47 items or people fit the description.

To picture it quickly, imagine splitting a group of 47 into about 10 equal parts and shading just under 3 of them. That makes it close to 3 in 10, or a little less than 30%.
