A value like 1602/2679, or about 59.8%, might describe the share of students who bring lunch from home, customers who choose a certain product, or voters who support an option. It means a little more than half of the group fits that description.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people lined up: about 60 of them would be included, while about 40 would not. Since 59.8% is very close to 60%, rounding it to 60% is usually a useful estimate.

A common mistake is treating 59.8% as if it means 59.8 people, even though the actual number of people must be a whole number. It is also easy to confuse the fraction with 40.2%, which represents the portion left over.
