A value like 21/450 can show up in everyday life when 21 people out of a group of 450 respond to a survey, qualify for an opportunity, or report the same problem. That is about 4.67%, so it represents a fairly small part of the whole group.

To picture it quickly, imagine 450 dots with only 21 shaded, or think of about 5 out of every 100 items. Since 4.67% is just under 5%, you can estimate it as roughly one person in every 20.

A common mistake is to treat 21/450 as 21% because the numerator is 21. The denominator matters just as much: 21 out of 450 is much smaller than 21 out of 100.
