A fraction like 2/21, or about 9.52%, can show up when a small group is part of a larger one. For example, if 2 out of 21 students choose the same project topic, that choice represents roughly one-tenth of the class.

To picture 2/21 quickly, think of a whole divided into 21 equal pieces with only 2 shaded. It is a little less than 10%, so imagining one shaded piece for every ten pieces gives a useful estimate.
