20/48 = ≈41.67%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 20/48 can show up when 20 out of 48 people choose the same option in a survey. For example, it could represent students who ride the bus, customers who prefer a certain product, or days when it rained during a 48-day period. That share is about 41.67%.
To picture 20/48 quickly, imagine a group divided into 48 equal parts, with 20 of those parts shaded. It is a little less than half, since half of 48 would be 24, so estimating it as around 42% is reasonable.
One common mistake is thinking 20/48 is close to 20% because the numerator is 20. The bottom number matters too because it tells you the total, so 20 out of 48 is much larger than 20 out of 100.
