A value like 20/59, or about 33.9%, might show up in a survey, such as the share of people who choose a particular answer. It could also describe how often something happens, like a bus arriving late on roughly one out of every three trips.

To picture it quickly, think of about 34 out of 100 items, or a little more than one-third of a group. Since one-third is about 33.3%, 33.9% is just slightly higher.

A common point of confusion is treating 20/59 as exactly one-third. It is close, but not quite: one-third of 59 is a little less than 20, so the fraction is slightly larger.
