A value like 17/26, or about 65.38%, can show up when 17 out of 26 people choose a certain option in a survey. It could also describe finishing 17 of 26 tasks, answering 17 questions correctly, or attending 17 of 26 classes.

To picture 17/26 quickly, think of a group of 26 objects with 17 shaded or selected. Since it is a little more than half but clearly less than three-quarters, estimating it as about two-thirds is a useful shortcut.
