A value like 2/90, or about 2.22%, can show up when only a small number of people in a large group choose a certain option. For example, it could describe 2 customers out of 90 who request a special service or 2 defective items in a shipment of 90.

To picture it quickly, imagine 90 people standing in a group and just 2 of them stepping forward. It is a little more than 2 out of every 100, so you can think of it as roughly two people in a crowd of one hundred.

A common mistake is treating 2.22% as if it were 22.2%, which is ten times larger. Another point of confusion is assuming that a small percentage means zero impact; even a few cases can matter when the total group is large.
