A value like 20/70, or 28.57%, might describe how many students in a class ride the bus, or how much of a phone’s battery has been used. It’s a little more than one quarter of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine splitting something into four equal parts and shading a bit more than one part. Since a quarter is 25%, 28.57% is close to that, but not quite a third.

One common mix-up is treating 20/70 as if it were 20% because the top number is 20. The percentage depends on both numbers in the fraction, so 20/70 is more than 20%.
