15/24 = 62.5%
The fraction 15/24 represents 62.5%, a little more than three-fifths of a whole. You might see a value like this when 15 out of 24 students turn in an assignment, 15 of 24 seats are filled, or 15 of 24 items pass a quality check.
To picture 15/24 quickly, imagine a rectangle divided into 24 equal sections with 15 shaded. It is more than half but less than three-quarters, so estimating it as about 60% to 65% is reasonable.
A common mistake is thinking that 15/24 is close to 15%, because the numerator is 15. The denominator matters too: the fraction compares 15 selected parts with 24 total parts.
