A value like 16/60, or 26.67%, could describe how many students in a class of 60 ride the bus to school. It can also show up in a survey, a sports stat, or the share of a monthly budget spent on one expense.

To picture it quickly, think of a little more than one-quarter of the whole. If 60 items were split into four equal groups, 16 would be just a bit more than the 15 items in one group.

One common mix-up is treating 16/60 as exactly one-quarter, when it is slightly larger. It is also easy to mistake the percentage for 16%, even though 16 is the number of parts out of 60, not the percentage.
