A value like 20/901, or about 2.22%, could describe a small share of people in a large survey, such as 20 out of 901 customers choosing a certain option. It might also represent a low chance of an event happening or a small portion of a budget being spent on one item.

To picture 2.22% quickly, think of about 2 people out of every 100, with a tiny bit more added. It is also close to 1 out of 45, so imagining one selected item among roughly 45 can give you a useful estimate.

A common mistake is to treat 2.22% as 22.2%, which is ten times larger. Another point of confusion is assuming that 20/901 is close to 20%, simply because the numerator is 20; the much larger denominator makes the overall fraction quite small.
