A share of 2/23, or about 8.7%, could describe how many people in a group chose a particular option in a survey. It might also show up as the portion of a monthly budget spent on one bill.

To picture it quickly, imagine a little less than 1 out of every 10 people. That’s close enough for a quick estimate, though 2/23 is slightly under 10%.
