16/215 = ≈7.44%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 16/215 can describe a small share of a group, such as 16 students out of 215 choosing a certain club or 16 defective items in a shipment of 215. That portion is about 7.44%, so it represents a noticeable amount but still less than one-tenth of the total.
To picture it quickly, imagine 215 objects spread across ten equal groups. Since 16 is a little less than 21.5, the fraction is a little less than 10%, making 7.44% a useful estimate.
A common mistake is to treat 16/215 as if it were 16/200 and assume the answer is exactly 8%. That estimate is close, but the larger denominator makes the actual percentage slightly lower.
