16/216 = ≈7.41%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 16/216 can show up when 16 items in a group of 216 meet a certain condition. For example, it could describe 16 defective products in a shipment, 16 rainy days in a year, or 16 students in a large school group; overall, that is about 7.41%.
To picture 16/216 quickly, think of it as a little less than 1 out of every 10 items. Since 10% would be 1 in 10, this fraction represents a noticeably smaller share, but it is still more than 1 in 20.
A common mistake is to focus only on the numerator, 16, and assume the amount is fairly large. The denominator matters just as much: 16 out of 216 is much smaller than 16 out of 50 because the total group is larger.
