200/320 = 62.5%
A fraction like 200/320, or 62.5%, can show up when 200 out of 320 students choose a school activity, 200 of 320 products pass inspection, or 200 of 320 seats are filled. It represents a little more than half of the total.
To picture it quickly, imagine a bar divided into eight equal parts: 62.5% fills five of those parts. You can also estimate it as about three-fifths, though it is slightly more than 60%.
A common mistake is treating 62.5% as if it were close to 62%, since the decimal part still represents half of one percent. Another point of confusion is that 200/320 may look large before it is simplified, but the value stays the same when the numerator and denominator are reduced.
