A value like 2/60 can show up when two items out of a group of 60 meet a certain condition. For example, it could describe two defective products in a shipment, two rainy days in a 60-day period, or two students chosen from a class-sized group.

You can picture 2/60 as a very small slice of the whole—about 3.33%, or roughly 3 out of every 100. A quick estimate is to think of it as just over one-thirtieth, which helps show that the amount is small but not quite as tiny as 1%.

A common mistake is to read 2/60 as 2% simply because the numerator is 2. The denominator matters just as much, since the same two items would represent a much larger share in a smaller group.
