A value like 20/90, or 22.22%, could describe how many students in a group chose a certain lunch option or how many items in a batch were marked for repair. It tells you that the amount is a noticeable part of the whole, but still less than one-fourth.

To picture it quickly, think of a little more than one-fifth of the whole. If you imagine 90 objects, 20 of them would be about that share, so it is close to—but slightly less than—a quarter.

One common point of confusion is treating 20/90 as if it means 20 out of 100. The total here is 90, so the share is a bit larger than 20%, even though the numerator is 20.
