A value like 2/54, or about 3.7%, can show up when only a small number of items in a large group fit a certain category. For example, 2 out of 54 students might ride the same bus, or 2 of 54 survey responses might choose a specific option.

To picture it quickly, imagine 54 tiny equal parts with just 2 of them shaded. It is a little less than 1 out of every 25 people or items, so it represents a small fraction of the whole.

A common mistake is to treat 2/54 as if it were close to 2%, because the numerator is 2. The denominator matters just as much: 2 out of 54 is closer to 4% than to 2%, even though it is still a fairly small amount.
