A value like 20/21, or about 95.24%, can show up when almost all of something is complete. For example, if 20 out of 21 students submit an assignment, the class has a submission rate close to 95%.

You can picture 20/21 as one whole pie with just one of its 21 equal slices missing. Since only about 5% is missing, a quick estimate is “a little less than 100%” or roughly 19 out of every 20.

A common mistake is treating 20/21 as exactly 95%, even though it is slightly higher than that. It is also easy to confuse the missing part, 1/21, with the completed part and accidentally describe the result as only about 4.76%.
