A value like 15/27, or about 55.56%, could describe how many students in a class prefer one type of music or how often a team wins its games. It’s a little more than half, so it often represents a narrow majority.

To picture it quickly, imagine 27 equal parts and shade 15 of them; just over half the parts would be shaded. You can also think of it as roughly 56 out of every 100, which is a bit more than 55.

One common mix-up is treating 55.56% as exactly 55% or exactly half. It’s slightly higher than both, and rounding it to 56% is fine when a rough estimate is enough.
