A value like 21/64, or about 32.81%, could describe how much of a 64-item supply has been used or how many seats in a theater are filled. It might also represent progress on a project, such as finishing 21 of 64 assigned tasks.

To picture 21/64 quickly, think of a bar divided into 64 equal parts with 21 shaded. It is slightly less than one-third, since one-third is about 33.33%, so you can estimate it as roughly one out of every three parts.

A common mistake is to round 21/64 to exactly one-third and forget that it is a little smaller. Another point of confusion is treating 32.81% as 32.81 whole items, even though percentages usually describe a portion of a larger amount.
