Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 144/702 might show up when 144 students out of 702 choose a certain activity, or when 144 products in a shipment of 702 have a special feature. This represents about 20.51%, so roughly one-fifth of the total is being described.
To picture 144/702 quickly, imagine dividing 702 objects into five nearly equal groups. Since one-fifth is about 20%, 144 is a little more than one of those groups, making the fraction just over 20%.
A common mistake is to read 144/702 as if it were close to 144%, because the numerator is large. The denominator matters just as much: since 144 is much smaller than 702, the value must be less than one whole, or less than 100%.
