A fraction like 20/73, or about 27.4%, could describe the share of students who bike to school or customers who choose a certain product. It’s useful whenever a group is split into parts and you want to describe how large one part is.

To picture it quickly, think of a little more than one quarter of a whole. For example, if a chart were divided into four equal sections, this amount would fill one section and a bit more.

One common point of confusion is treating 20/73 as if it meant 20 out of 100. The bottom number, 73, is the total group, so the fraction’s size depends on that total.
