A fraction like 21/320 can show up when 21 items out of a group of 320 meet a certain condition. For example, it could represent defective products in a shipment, students who choose a particular option, or customers who use a special service; that is about 6.56%.

To picture 21/320 quickly, imagine dividing 320 objects into 100 equal shares and having about 6 or 7 objects in one share. It is a little more than 1 out of every 16 items, so it represents a small but noticeable portion.
