158/342 = ≈46.2%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 158/342, or about 46.2%, can show up in everyday situations such as survey results, test scores, or the share of people who choose one option. For example, it could mean that nearly half of a group prefers taking the bus instead of driving.
You can picture 46.2% as a little less than half of a whole. Since half is 50%, this value is close to half but lower by about four percentage points.
A common mistake is to describe 46.2% as more than half because it is close to 50%. It is still slightly less than half, so the fraction represents a minority rather than a majority.
