A value like 21/73, or about 28.77%, could describe how often a bus arrives on time during a stretch of recorded trips, or what share of a group prefers a certain snack. It’s a little less than three out of every ten.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 small squares with about 29 shaded in. Since it’s just under 30%, you can also think of it as slightly less than three tenths.
