A value like 20/28, or about 71.43%, could describe 20 students out of a class of 28 turning in an assignment. It might also represent the portion of a 28-day month when someone exercised, attended work, or completed a daily goal.

A common mistake is assuming 20/28 is exactly 70% because 20 is close to 7 tenths of 28. The actual value is slightly higher, so rounding it to 71% or 71.43% depends on how precise the situation needs to be.
